Irmos: Wherefore hast Thou turned Thy face from me, O Light never-waning? And why hath a strange darkness covered me, wretch that I am? But turn me, and guide my steps to the light of Thy commandments, I pray.
Mightily didst thou pass through the course of athletes at the tribunal, O maiden; for divine desire strengthened thy womanly weakness, manifestly revealing thee to be an independent martyr through the sufferings thou didst resolve to undertake.
Theotokion: Beholding the nature of mortals cleansed of the ancient curse through the birthgiving of thy virginity, O most immaculate one, we glorify Him Who was born of thee as thine only-begotten, in His loving-kindness. Him do thou beseech, O Virgin, that He save us.
Shedding drops of thy blood, O martyr, thou didst weave for thyself a purple robe of great price and a garment of gladness untouched by corruption; and clad therewith now in the heavens, O divinely wise one, thou standest noetically before thy Bridegroom.
Having bound the over-weening serpent with the bonds of thy prayers, O maiden, thou didst humble to the ground his pride which of old was over-weening; for the Omniscient One, in that He is good, hath known how to fill those who fear His will.
Truly the Word, thy Bridegroom, hath adorned thee with divine crowns of supremely exalted glory, deifying thee who suffered for His sake and patiently endured the stripes of beating, O glorious one.
