Let us come together and extol Charalambos, the All Glorious Great Martyr, the steadfast Warrior and Soldier of Christ. He contended splendidly for Christ and the Truth. He openly preached the Orthodox Faith, and put an end to the error of idolatry. He rebuked the most unlawful king, and with joy and exultation he was beheaded. Therefore he received the Crown from the right Hand of the Most High, and he became a fellow Citizen of Angels. Thus the Orthodox Church Venerates his Honourable Skull, and crowns it with praises. By it She is freed from many hardships and diseases, and PRAISES THE MAKER OF ALL WITH JOY!
