Irmos: God the Lord, the Son of the unoriginate Father, hath revealed Himself to us incarnate of the Virgin, to enlighten those in darkness and to gather the dispersed. Wherefore, we magnify the all-hymned Theotokos.
Theotokion: The great mystery of thy birthgiving, which passeth understanding, doth astound the angels, O divinely joyous one, doth delight the assemblies of the venerable, and doth gladden the sacred fathers who hymn thee in godly manner, O pure Theotokos who knewest not wedlock.
Thy commemoration hath dawned as a day of salvation which enlighteneth those who are in darkness, dispelleth the gloom of the passions and showeth forth as children of the light those who now honor thee as a favorite of the Lord, O father.
Patapius, who was shown to be an angel on earth, the offspring of Thebes, the boast of the desert, the glory and splendor of monastics, the beacon of Byzantium, let us now bless as is meet.
Being a converser with the angels, the peer and fellow heir of the prophets and apostles, the martyrs and hierarchs, thou didst serve the honored Trinity with purity of mind, O venerable one. Pray thou in behalf of us all.
