Irmos: O Mother of God and Virgin, thou gavest birth yet remainest a virgin still, and this was not a work of nature, but of the condescension of God; wherefore, we ever magnify thee as her who hath been vouchsafed divine wonders.
Ever entreat Christ, O divinely blessed father, that He halt the wiles of the heresies, which are directed against us; and drive the present gloom thereof from our midst, for, as a mighty hierarch, thou art our intercessor.
Theotokion: O joyous and all-hymned Theotokos, we call thee the ark of the new law and the divinely inscribed tablet, whereon the Word of God was written, becoming man to save the world from deception.
Thou wast translated from earthly to heavenly life, receiving honor for thy ministry and suffering, and there, partaking of life incorruptible, thou hast been counted worthy to be with Christ for eternity.
Thou didst take the fruit of the tree of life, of immortal life, O all-blessed one, acquiring the Creator of men. And richly delighting in His joy, pray thou in behalf of those who hymn thee.
Straining thy whole mind to the goodness of life, thou wast vouchsafed the vision of Christ and the beauty of gladness, as a hieromartyr and a preacher and champion of piety.
