Irmos: I will open my mouth, and with the Spirit will it be filled; and I shall utter discourse unto the Queen and Mother, and shall appear, keeping splendid festival; and, rejoicing, I will hymn her wonders.
By thy supplications, O glorious one, grant wisdom and discourse of understanding unto me who long to hymn thee and to praise thy divine struggles, for the sake of the love of Christ which thou didst mightily show forth.
Theotokion: He Who of old created man on earth was incarnate in thy womb and became perfect man. Wherefore, we know Him to be perfect in two essences, O all-immaculate Theotokos.
Having been anointed with the chrism of grace, thou didst show thyself to be a holy hierarch, O sacred one, worthily offering up to Christ unbloody sacrifices, and thyself as a pure sacrifice through martyrdom.
Arrayed in a purple robe through the victory of thy sufferings, and adorned with a crown of blood, thou wast shown to have achieved control over the passions, O holy hierarch; and having driven falsehood away, thou reignest with Christ.
