Irmos: Grant us Thy peace, O Son of God, for we know none other God than Thee, and we call upon Thy name, for Thou art the God of the living and the dead.
Thou didst crush the heads of the serpents by baptism, O almighty Lord God, Who gavest power and authority to the divine Marcian over the power of the demons.
Theotokion: Thou wast truly shown to be a virgin even after giving birth, O pure one; for thou gavest birth to God, Whom John washeth in the waters of the Jordan for the restoration of the world.
Sharing thy property with the poor, O divinely wise and most blessed one, thou didst distribute it; wherefore, thy memory and righteousness shall abide forever.
Thou didst still the turmoil of passionate thoughts, O venerable one, and didst erect a temple dedicated to divine Peace, unto the praise of the Lord Who is the peace of all.
