Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone VIII: Spec. Mel.: “As firstfruits…”—
With the beauty of the divers wounds of thy body thou didst adorn the comeliness of thy mystical vesture, O hierarch; and thou wast crowned with twofold grace.
Theotokion: Thou art my strength and my song, O Theotokos; for on thee have I set my hope, and through thee have I exalted my horn against mine enemies.
In that the women who suffered with thee hastened with faith in Christ, they died with zeal, O father Blaise. Preserve thou those who keep thy memory with love.
Aflame with zeal for Christ, and having cast off all flattering deception, with their blood the martyrs burned up the infliction of torments.
With the anointing of the priesthood and the blood of martyrdom wast thou adorned, O glorious Blaise; and, joining chorus, thou shinest in the highest, watching over those who come to thy temple and therein unceasingly cry out to thee: Preserve us all!
Ikos: O brethren, assemble with haste and come ye to the temple of the martyr, that we may raise a song unto him today and delight in grace; for he saveth souls and bodies from manifold sufferings, as a martyr, as a venerable saint, as a faithful hierarch and a champion for those who cry out to him with a pure soul: Preserve us all!
