Irmos: O Christ Who hast enlightened the ends of the world with the radiance of Thy coming and hast illumined them with Thy Cross: with the light of Thy divine knowledge enlighten the hearts of those who hymn Thee in Orthodox manner.
By thy valiant deeds he who of old boasted beyond measure that he would destroy the earth and the sea was trampled underfoot and cast down into the uttermost depths. Christ hath destroyed him by His Cross and granted victory to the faithful!
Theotokion: The whole choir of the prophets, manifestly instructed by God, proclaimed beforehand the mystery of the ineffable conception of the Son of God through thee, O most hymned Virgin Mother; for thou didst truly give birth to the Light which is without beginning, O thou who art full of divine grace.
When the servants of the prideful morning-star bethought themselves how by lying words they might ensnare the valiant one and easily draw him into their service, the most wicked ones were put to shame together with him who had dispatched them.
The boastful demon could not bear the reproach of thee, a young man, and to be trampled underfoot, and he moved his servants to take thee to court, hoping to vanquish thee by fear; but the uttermost depths were afraid, beholding thee put his visible servants to shame.
