Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Strengthened from thy youth with hope in God, thou didst hasten to the good God, O blessed John, fortifying thyself with the highest ascetic feats of monasticism.
Theotokion: Through thee, O joyous and most pure one, Christ, the Sun of righteousness, hath appeared to us and illumined with light those who before sat in the fortresses of darkness.
Full of rich and radiant grace, and living in estimable places, thou didst honorably appoint ascents leading to the virtues, O all-blessed one.
Instructed by the might of the Spirit, having hastened to the fold of the God-bearing Chariton thou didst abide therein, becoming a sacred minister radiant in purity.
