Ode 4. Irmos.

Let us praise the seven Youths, a most holy band, honoured with the number seven.

The Youths of Ephesus showed the impious king of error to be senseless with his empty sophistries.

Holy Youths, in the faith you appeared truly as unblemished offerings and sacrifices of the Lord.

Immaculate and ever-blessed, do not neglect to intercede that we may be delivered from every trouble.
