Happy Names Day to one of our young ladies!

Kontakion of Myrrhbearer and Equal of the Apostles Mary Magdalene:

When God, transcendent in His nature, came into the world in the flesh, O Mary, / He received you as His true disciple as was meet. / For you had all your desire and your love set upon Him; / therefore, you provided many cures for the sick; / and now, translated into the Heavens, you always pray for the world.
