Irmos: The sea monster thrust forth, like a babe from the womb, Jonah whom it had swallowed; and the Word, Who dwelt within the Virgin and took flesh of her, issued forth, preserving her incorrupt. He kept her who gave Him birth unharmed, for He Himself was not subject to corruption.
Kontakion, in Tone IV, Spec. Mel: “Having been lifted up...”—
O Almighty God, after three days Thou didst save from the monster Jonah, who foreshadowed Thy burial; and the bodies of the martyrs which were cast into the deep Thou didst guide to the most tranquil haven of burial, where Thy divine will is the safekeeping of us, the faithful.
Theotokion: Through thee, O Virgin, hath death ceased to be, for thou gavest birth unto those who believe in Him with pure faith. To Him do thou pray, O most holy one, that He deliver thy servants from misfortune.
O invincible martyrs, the deep gave up your bodies to the dry land unharmed, which were guided by the angels of heaven who proclaimed to all your place of repose, which poureth forth healings and delivereth all from the passions of the soul, O blessed ones.
The ranks of the angels marvelled at your endurance, and how in the body ye vanquished the incorporeal serpent, and were crowned with wreaths of victory, O martyrs, who stand before the throne of God, illumined with the effulgence of divine light.
The right melodious sound of thy words, leading Hermogenes up from the abyss of perdition, set him upon the rock of life; and Eugraphus, having denounced the emperor, hath his glorious head severed, rejoicing. And do thou earnestly pray, O Menas, that all who honor thee with love may be saved.
Ikos: Thy life was godly, thy discourse sweet, thy boldness and teaching great, thy courage wondrous in the face of the iniquitous, O Menas, who showed thyself forth with steadfastness to be in no wise afraid. And with instruction thou didst teach all to worship the one God in three Persons and to serve Him with unwavering intent. And confessing the Son of God Who for our sake hath now received flesh in these latter days, thou didst pursue Hermogenes. Wherefore, with him do thou pray, that all that honor you with love be saved.
