Ode 7. Irmos.

The Youths appeared as pure and chosen vessels of Christ; through them false doctrine was driven from the Church and true belief shone out: that there will be a Resurrection of every soul and flesh as they were born.

As truly valiant before death in your struggle, Holy Youths, so again you appeared alive after death strengthened with divine glory, devoutly confirming in yourselves the truth of the Resurrection.

There will be a resurrection of spirits along with physical bodies; for as no soul is born to come forth into the world without a body, so too outside the body no soul is glorified or tested, said the All-praised Martyrs.

By giving birth to God, the Saviour of all, you have become, Mary, the righting of the desperate, the assistance of the lost, the hope of the hopeless and the help of those who sing, ‘Blessed is the fruit of your womb.’
