Irmos: Thy Church rejoiceth in Thee, O Christ, crying aloud: Thou art my strength, O Lord, my refuge and my consolation!
Sessional hymn, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “Thy tomb, O Savior…”—
Theotokion: Cause me to share in the Day of never-waning light, O most pure Mother of God, delivering me from the coming darkness.
Having embraced love for the Lord, O true martyrs, and rejoicing in Him, ye truly surrendered your souls into His hands.
Now & ever…: theotokion—
He Who accepted your suffering and endurance hath shown you to be healers of bodies and souls, O all-wise ones.
Having shaken off the ancient deception, O steadfast martyrs, ye willingly embraced new life, living for Christ rather than for man.
Ye did not render worship to material fire, O divinely eloquent ones, and have been delivered from the fire of Gehenna; and, though subjected to fire and torture, O saints, ye did not deny the Master of all, but, rejoicing, strove to preserve the Faith until death.
Glory…, in Tone VIII—
Tested in the fire of torture like gold in a crucible, ye were radiantly tried, O ever-memorable martyrs, and in your nature have been shown to be more precious than gold ; for, disclosing the all-radiant beauty of your souls, ye truly offered yourselves to the Master as most precious vessels, not having worshipped fire. Wherefore, pray to the Lord for us all, that He grant remission of sins unto those who honor your memory with love.
O Theotokos, accept the prayers of thy servants, and deliver us from every tribulation, in that thou gavest birth to Christ, the Savior of our souls.
