Irmos: The fire neither touched nor vexed thy youths in the furnace, O Savior. For the three chanted as with a single mouth, and blessed Thee, saying: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
The only-begotten and beginningless Word of God, the Wellspring of life, hath risen up, washing away our transgressions with waters. To Him was the glorious Marcian well pleasing, offering himself to Him.
Theotokion: Without consuming thy womb, O pure one, Christ was divinely born of thee. And John, beholding Him, cried out: Jesus is baptized, the salvation and deliverance of the faithful!
With right mighty vigils thou didst truly lull to sleep the passions of the soul which are difficult to restrain; and, falling asleep at a profound old age, O blessed one, thou didst pass over to the Light, as a child of the day and a minister of Christ.
The sword which guarded the tree of life let thee pass, O wise one. Wherefore, thou delightest in the joy of paradise, O sacred Marcian, hymning the Author of our salvation.
