¶1

Irmos: Enlighten us with Thy commandments, O Lord, and with Thine upraised arm grant us Thy peace, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

¶2

O Christ, Thou only Physician of souls and bodies, through the entreaties of the martyrs heal the pangs of my suffering.

¶3

Theotokion: Having thee as an insuperable rampart, a refuge and foundation, our hope and divine weapon, O pure Mother of God, we are saved.

¶4

Thou wast revealed as a sacred flower through the activity of the Spirit, O glorious martyr, showing forth thy fruitfulness in thy sufferings.

¶5

Having the words of life in thy heart, O wise and glorious one, by thine opposition thou didst mortify the threats of the tyrants.
