Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
Thou didst achieve a most blessed end through the struggle of asceticism, O sacred father John, and, departing unto Christ, after death thou didst make thine abode in life devoid of suffering and pain. Twice
Theotokion: O Virgin Bride of God, in giving birth to Christ thou hast poured forth upon us a well-spring of immortality, whereby we are purified of all the defilement of sin.
Thou hast been vouchsafed to dwell in the land of the meek, O venerable and blessed father, for thou wast an emulator of God-bearing men of inner stillness; and with them thou hast manifestly received delight.
