Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!
Theotokion: The Deliverer, granting the world deliverance from the curse, and seeking His own image, which was buried by the passions, is born of thee, O Virgin, becoming a man for our sake.
Having illumined me, who am beset by the darkness of the passions, O Jesus, cleanse me by the radiant supplications of Thy hierarch, and instill within me the words to hymn him, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
Like Samuel of old, from earliest infancy thou wast offered to God by thy pious parents, who surrendered their souls to Him while in prison.
When, fleeing to Athens, thou didst escape the ungodly persecutors, the bishop, when he baptized thee, beheld a pillar of fire descending from heaven upon thy head, as God glorified thee.
Receiving the divine Fire within thy heart, cast to the ground by the King of all, and burning with love for Him, thou didst consider all the beautiful things of this life as but nought.
