Irmos: The staff of Moses, once working a wonder, striking the sea in the form of the Cross and dividing it, drowned the mounted tyrant Pharaoh, and saved Israel who fled on foot, chanting a hymn unto God.
With the weakness of your flesh ye cast down the mighty foe and have united yourselves to God, O venerable women, praying that He grant us all the power of salvation.
Theotokion: Thy womb, O Virgin, was shown to be a radiant bridal-chamber of the Lord, Who in His mercy became incarnate bodily through thee and hath illumined all things with the radiance of divine knowledge.
Ye were wounded by the comeliness of the Bridegroom and with hymns cleaved unto His feet, following His life-bearing steps; wherefore, ye brought down the serpent foe.
In causing the beauty of your bodies to wither through the labors of fasting, ye adorned your souls; and with Christ the Bridegroom ye have entered into the splendid bridal-chambers, O venerable ones.
