==Hymnography==
The [[hymn]]s of the [[saint]]s emphasize the cooperation of Adrian and Natalia and exalt them as a model married couple. In some hymns, e.g., the third [[sticheron]] of [[Vespers]], Natalia is contrasted favorably with [[Eve]], as exhorting her husband to godliness rather than tempting him to sin. She is also likened to the wise pilot of a storm-tossed ship (her husband), bringing him safely into the heavenly harbor (fourth sticheron of [[Lauds]]).
[[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 4) [http://www.oca.org/FStropars.asp?SID=13&ID=102398]
:Your holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia, O Lord,
:Through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God.
:For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries,
:And shattered the powerless boldness of demons.
:Through their intercessions, save our souls!
[[Kontakion]] - (Tone 4)
:Martyr of Christ, Adrian,
:You kept the words of your godly and devoted wife Natalia in your heart.
:With her you accepted every kind of suffering and obtained the crown of victory!
