Irmos: Going before me with the light of Thy knowledge, O Lord, out of the night of ignorance to the path of Thy commandments do Thou lead me, who ever stray toward the soul-destroying way.
With thy most sacred discourse thou didst manifestly confirm the most sacred doctrine and didst cast down the hordes of the heretics, O father, enduring banishment, prison and many tribulations.
Theotokion: O Virgin who gavest birth in the flesh to the infinite Word without knowing wedlock, slay thou the passions of my flesh and enliven my soul which hath been slain by transgressions.
Thou gavest no slumber to thine eyelids, O venerable one, until thou becamest a habitation for God; and thou didst scatter all the falsehood of heresy like dust, struggling in thy martyrdom.
With hostility thine enemies led thee along, weighted with chains, O wise one, and bound thee for mockery in the midst of the city, insulting and blaspheming thee, and assaulting thee shamelessly.
