Irmos: When the golden image was worshipped on the plain of Dura, Thy three youths spurned the ungodly command, and, cast into the midst of the fire, bedewed, they sang: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Thou hast been shown to be a cup of wisdom, full of the virtues; and having called the flock together by the preaching of thine exalted life, thou didst delight them, O divinely wise father; and thou criest out with them: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Theotokion: He Who was begotten without mother of the Father, cometh forth from thee without father; and, preserving the seal of thy purity inviolate, He hath shown thy birthgiving to be all-pure and thy virginity to be undefiled; for in thee is the law of birthgiving restored.
Thou hast gone before us to the mansions of heaven and precious delights, and thou rejoicest with thy God and art glad. Wherefore, honoring thee, O all-blessed one, we cry aloud with boldness: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Thy loins girded about with the manliness of understanding, and thyself arrayed in the life which leadeth to faith, O Tarasius, thou didst go up in haste to the banquet of the King most high, chanting: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
