Irmos: Out of love for Thine image Thou didst stand affixed to the Cross, O Compassionate One, and the nations melted away; for Thou art my strength and boast, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
Theotokion: Foreseeing thy birthgiving, O all-pure one, Habbakuk described thee beforehand as a mountain overshadowed, from whence our one God would come forth.
Performing the sacred rites, offering unbloody sacrifice to Him Who was sacrificed for thee, thou wast slaughtered like a lamb. And thou didst bring thyself to Him, O divinely wise one who art most rich.
The mountains of ungodliness were reduced to dust in thy presence, O holy hierarch, and all the hills of the demons melted away when Christ strengthened thee.
O all-blessed one who possessed a most exalted life, thou wast lifted up upon a tree, in accordance with thy desire, emulating the suffering of God Who hath raised up the world.
