Exapostilarion: Spec. Mel.: “The heaven with stars…” —
Irmos: O ye faithful, with hymns let us magnify in oneness of mind the Word of God, Who from God came in His ineffable wisdom to renew Adam who had grievously fallen into corruption, and Who became ineffably incarnate of the holy Virgin for our sake.
Behold, thy memory hath shone forth upon all like the sun, O father, illumining with radiance those who glorify thee thereon as a minister of Christ, an heir of His kingdom and a companion of all the venerable.
Theotokion: Knowing thee to be the luminous cloud of the Sun of righteousness, O pure one, we cry out to thee with faith: Rejoice, O Virgin who knewest not wedlock, thou glory of the apostles, crown of the glorious martyrs, and salvation of the faithful!
In that thy life is luminous, thy glory is great and the tomb where thine honored body lay is rich, O wise one, it poureth forth health upon those who have recourse to it with faith and ever ask thy help.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion —
Cease thou never to visit us with the all-glorious healing which thou didst acquire by thy pangs, O father, but intercede for us unceasingly in thy great loving-kindness, and ease the pain and labor of our souls, we pray.
Shining forth the rays of the sun upon those who honor thee, O blessed father, illumine the senses of our soul, and make us worthy partakers of the divine effulgence by thy supplications, we pray thee.
In God-pleasing manner thou didst give thy wealth away to the poor and didst offer thyself wholly to the Lord, O Sampson. Him do thou entreat, that He deliver us from all the passions.
By thy mighty protection, O pure one, preserve all thy servants unharmed by the assaults of the enemy; for thee alone have we acquired as a refuge in time of need.
