Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Wrapped in the wounds of stripes, thou didst piously worship the everlasting Lord Who was born and wrapped in swaddling bands.
Theotokion: Today the Creator of all is born of thee for us, O blessed one, and He Who hath wrapped the sea in mist is wrapped in swaddling bands, O Ever-virgin Mother.
The Lord Who was laid in a manger received as a natal gift the drops of thy blood and the sores of thy wounds, as better than gold, frankincense and myrrh, O father.
The Lord Who hath been born and received gold from the magi, O holy hierarch, receiveth from thee thine ardent love for Him, and the constancy and might of thy true patience.
Emulating the death of the Master by thine own death, O most honored one manifest in sanctity, thou didst utter the words of the Master, praying radiantly for those who slew thee.
