Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
Extending the bounds of thy flock on the pasture of God, O holy hierarch, in divinely wise manner thou didst drive falsehood out of all the earth.
Theotokion: The visitation of death is truly slain by thy birthgiving, O Mistress; for darkness is seen to be destroyed by the Light.
With thy teachings thou didst confirm thy flock in the Faith, O wise hierarch; for, lo! thou hast trampled down the deception of the woman.
Made steadfast by the love of Christ, the women came to emulate thy struggles, O father, and were slaughtered in their zeal for Christ.
