Irmos: The Chaldæan furnace, burning with fire, was bedewed by the Spirit through the presence of God; and the children chanted: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Having quenched the flame with the outpourings of thy blood, with the fire of thy struggles thou didst utterly consume the tinder of evil, O blessed one, crying out: Blessed is the God of our fathers!
Theotokion: Delivered from the first fall of our ancestors because of thee, O all-immaculate one, we cry out to thee, “Rejoice!”, and with faith we glorify Him Who, through thee, hath delivered us from corruption.
Let the martyrs be praised as warriors of Christ, for they destroyed the uprisings of the flesh by the pangs of asceticism, and false worship by the outpouring of their blood.
Like immovable pillars the venerable martyrs were not shaken by the command of the iniquitous that their heads be cut off, nor by the laceration of their flesh, nor yet by multifarious tortures.
