Irmos: O Master Who hast created all things in Thy wisdom, Thou hast established the earth as a weight upon the deep, planting its foundation upon the boundless waters. Wherefore, we all cry out, chanting: Bless the Lord unceasingly, O ye works of the Lord!
Rejoice, O delight of true athletes! Rejoice, adornment and ornament of the Faith! Rejoice, torchbearer most splendid among the martyrs, who hast dispelled deception and shone forth light upon the world by thy suffering, O most wise Callinicus.
Theotokion: In the Spirit, the prophets perceived thee, the Virgin, as tabernacle and altar, jar and lamp-stand, the all-holy mountain, the cloud and the tables of the law, the ark and the staff, the divine portal whereby the ancient paradise is made accessible unto all men.
The tyrant was put to shame by thy struggles and opposition, and the malefactors were vanquished by thy wounds, O blessed one. Thy heels were pierced with nails. All deception was consumed, and the temples of the idolaters were destroyed, by the fire of thy contest.
Bowing thy head, O Callinicus, in thy boldness pray unceasingly to God in behalf of those who honor thee. Intercede for thy flock, rescuing it from the divers snares of the deceiver, and make it steadfast by faith. For through thee doth it grow in stature and might.
