Irmos: I will open my mouth, and with the Spirit will it be filled; and I shall utter discourse unto the Queen and Mother, and shall appear, keeping splendid festival; and, rejoicing, I will hymn her wonders.
Theotokion: Christ, Who shone forth from thy womb, O Bride of God, hath radiantly shone forth in the hearts of those who with faith honor thee as the Mother of God and caused a splendid day to dawn.
Canon of the Venerable Macrina, the acrostic whereof is: “I crown thee, O Macrina, the pure bride of Christ”, in Tone IV —
O most glorious Macrina, entreat the all-pure Bridegroom, the Beauty of our souls, Whom, desiring, thou didst love with all thy heart, that He enlighten those who hymn thee.
As an abyss of goodness past understanding, O Christ, Thou didst glorify the blameless and all-glorious Macrina, Thine undefiled bride, who was transfixed with desire for Thee.
O divinely wise Macrina, thou boast of virginity, thou didst zealously preserve thy life intact through abstinence, having made thy flesh subject to the spirit.
