The Image of Holy Children-Martyrs in the Orthodox Hymnography

Abstracts

EN

The present paper discusses the presentation of holy children-martyrs in the Orthodox hymnography. Eight leading themes that appear in liturgical texts are presented. Four of them are common to the motifs used in the rite of a child’s funeral, and four others are reserved only for canonized children. The most attention was paid to the issue of childhood innocence and parents’ reaction to premature death (from sadness, through joy of the child’s salvation, to encouraging a child to suffer martyrdom for Christ). The presented examples come from the texts of services and Akathists in honor of selected holy children – mainly St. Gabriel of Zabłudów, St. Cyric and Julitta, St. Artemius of Verkola.
