Exapostilarion —
Irmos: Thy birthgiving, O Ever-virgin, which was revealed to the law-giver on the mountain in the fire and the bush, for the salvation of us, the faithful, do we magnify with unceasing hymnody.
Theotokion: O Mother of God, Virgin among mothers, who at the ineffable word of the archangel gavest birth through thy womb to the transcendent Word Who was begotten of the unoriginate Father: Save the souls of those who hymn thee.
Grace united you together with a triple bond, O Manuel, Sabel and Ismael, uniting with unshakable faith the single-minded virtue of your confession of Christ.
Theotokion —
With a sling of three thongs ye vanquished the vile apostate Julian, the lying tyrant, O ye three warriors of the Trinity, and together ye have been crowned.
Right memorable was the miracle of the martyrs; for after their demise the ground gaped wide and covered them, yet in a little while, like luminous stars they shone forth from the bosom of the earth.
Truly the wondrous and most sacred memorial of the great Manuel and the all-glorious martyrs Sabel and Ismael, woven together as of three golden strands, hath dawned! It hath illumined the hearts of all the faithful with light and maketh glad their souls.
As thou hast loving-kindness and great mercy, O most hymned Virgin Theotokos, look upon my lowliness, do away with the turmoil of the passions and the temptations of life, and deliver me from the fire of Gehenna, O Maiden.
