Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Having grounded thine ascent upon the rock of faith, O father, thou didst not fear the assaults of temptations; but as a champion of virtue, a namesake of the kingdom, thou didst remain unshaken.
Theotokion: O most lauded Theotokos, I offer thee, who gavest birth to God, the Benefactor of all creation, as the intercessor for my life, the mediatress of my salvation, and an insuperable bulwark.
The grace of the all-holy Spirit, strengthening thee, made thee firm to endure painful wounds, and showed thee to be a victor over the vain-minded tyrant.
By thy virtues, O father, thou didst receive a wise fellow athlete and warrior who was ever victorious; and rejoicing with him, O thou who art most rich, by torment thou didst pass the contest of suffering.
