Irmos: O Word, with divine vision the prophet perceived Thee Who wast to become incarnate of the Theotokos alone, the mountain overshadowed; and with fear he glorified Thy power.
Theotokion: Rejoice, O holy Theotokos, who art from among us! Rejoice, thou who gavest birth to Joy for the world! Rejoice, thou who alone art the help of men, O blessed and holy Theotokos!
Thou didst bring to Christ as a dowry thy purity, the mortification of thy members and the pangs of abstinence; and thou hast received the kingdom of heaven and everlasting delight.
Providing in thyself a model for the good, thou didst draw many souls to salvation, removing them from passionate attachment to the world, O divinely wise and right wondrous Xenia.
Bedewing thy couch with tears, O venerable one, and eating thy bread with ashes, thou hast received consolation which waxeth not old, and the delight of paradise.
