Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.
Theotokion: Of old, Isaiah, glorious among the prophets, called thee the staff which beareth the Lord as a blossom, O Ever-virgin Mother and Theotokos.
Gazing at the beauty of thy Bridegroom, O martyr, namesake of Christ, thou didst experience divine wounding, delighting in visions of Him.
Bound to the wheel thou didst cry out, O martyr, “I magnify Thee, O Lord, and I glorify the name of Thee Who strengthenest those who love Thee!”
“Wounded by desire for Thy love, I have cleaved unto Thee, and Thou hast shown me to be victorious amid suffering,” the martyr cried aloud.
