Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: By thy birthgiving, O blessed Maiden, thou dost deliver us from the primal curse; wherefore, we cry out to thee with the voice of Gabriel: Rejoice, O cause of the salvation of all!
With thy humility thou didst crush the prideful serpent, O blessed Basil, ascending to God by thy precious understanding; wherefore, we honor thee, exalting Christ supremely forever.
Giving utterance to the theology of the incarnation of the Word, thou didst save thy people from slavery and error, O father Basil, who didst confound the ungodliness of the Moslems.
Thou didst spring forth like a fragrant flower in Zakholmia, O God-bearing father; and Skenderia, receiving thee, imparteth gifts of healing, like perfume, unto all.
Exuding the sweetness of the grace of God like the Mount of Olives, thy body serveth thy monastery. Therein we boast, hymning the works of God.
O all-pure Virgin, thou ever-flowing and light-bearing well-spring of the heavenly choirs, preserve us by the supplications of Basil, the favorite of God.
