Exapostilarion: Spec. Mel: “Heaven with stars...”—
Irmos: God the Lord, the Son of the unoriginate Father, hath revealed Himself to us incarnate of the Virgin, to enlighten those in darkness and to gather the dispersed. Wherefore, we magnify the all-hymned Theotokos.
Taking the Cross of Christ upon your shoulders, ye truly trod the path of abstinence, exercising every virtue, until ye in truth received the life which ageth not, being crowned together as a family.
Theotokion: Unto Him Who in the beginning was without mother in His first begetting, dost thou now give birth in the flesh without father, O Bride of God; and through the activities of His two natures, divine and human, is He known and believed.
Having acquired mastery over carnal-mindedness, ye laid up the wealth of the Spirit as treasure, receiving the grace of healing from the Source of gifts. And now, having passed on to Him, ye rest eternally.
Conquering the wiles of the serpent, O venerable ones, ye have been called to the ultimate of honors, receiving crowns of righteousness from Christ, as is meet. Him do ye now entreat, that He save our souls.
In God-pleasing manner didst thou distribute thy wealth to the poor, and with thy whole family thou didst unite thyself unto the Lord, O Xenophon. Him do thou beseech, O most blessed one, that He deliver us from the passions.
Truly thy mighty works are beyond the armies of the angels and choirs of the saints, O pure one. Wherefore, entreat Christ in behalf of us sinful people.
