Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Strengthened by divine power, O father, thou didst denounce as utterly mindless all who cast away the precious image of Christ; and thou didst cry out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord! Twice
Theotokion: All of us, the faithful, hymn thee as the pure Theotokos and Queen of all creation; and we cry out to thee: Rejoice! Blessed art thou among women, O most immaculate Mistress!
Christ found thee ploughed and cleared by asceticism and shining patiently with fasting, O father, who criest: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
