¶1

Irmos: We magnify thee, the most immaculate Mother of Christ our God, Whom the Holy Spirit overshadowed.

¶2

Beholding the martyrs of Christ to be fragrant flowers of the noetic garden of paradise, we magnify them today with praises.

¶3

Theotokion: O most immaculate one, we the faithful have acquired thee as a rampart and protection and a calm haven; and through thee we have been saved.

¶4

The martyrs, truly shown to be luminaries of the Church of Christ God, shine forth with the light of their confession.

¶5

O Thou Who lovest mankind and Who hast healed the pangs of suffering through the prayer of the passion-bearers, heal now also my pangs.
