Irmos: O children, equal in number to the Trinity, bless ye God, the Father and Creator; hymn ye the Word, Who came down and transformed the fire into dew; and the all-holy Spirit, Who imparteth life unto all, exalt ye supremely forever!
Aflame with the fire of divine love, enduring bodily torment as though they had no bodies, the three maidens joyously cried out to the Trinity, exclaiming: “Let us bless the Father Who is without cause, and the Son Who is equally without beginning; and let us glorify the Spirit, the Comforter, equally enthroned with Them, hymning and supremely exalting Them unto all ages!”
Theotokion: Prefiguring thee, O Virgin, the unburnt bush was not consumed, and the youths, showing forth the incorruption of thy birthgiving, were not burned by the flame, for truly receiving the fire of the Godhead within thy womb, thou didst remain unconsumed thereby, but like gold, which partaketh of the fire, thou hast shone forth; and all creation, marvelling at the dread mystery, doth supremely exalt thee unto all ages.
Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!
“O hell, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? Lo! against you do we make bold, Christ God helping us,” did ye cry out, O blessed martyrs, joining chorus amid your sufferings, chanting a hymn unto the Trinity.
Theotokion: The language of the rhetors cannot describe the unfathomable depth of thy mystery, for, in manner past recounting, thou gavest birth to the Word of God for the salvation of all, O all-pure Virgin.
“We can do all things, through Christ, Who strengtheneth us,” did ye cry with the Apostle, O manly-wise virgins. Wherefore, ye endured all torments utterly undaunted, and drained the cup which your heavenly Bridegroom gave you, with one mouth making threefold psalmody, hymning and supremely exalting the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, unto all ages.
An unshakable tower, an unbreakable rampart, an invincible bulwark, a foundation of the Faith, a divine gift, a champion of piety and a destroyer of deception wast thou shown to be, O passion-bearer.
Steered by divine grace, O all-wise one, thou didst traverse the great deep of torments and, rejoicing, didst attain unto the calm harbors of the heavenly kingdom, O glorious one.
Thou didst direct thy steps and feet to Christ, the God and Lord of all, and into His hands thou didst give thy spirit, O thrice-blessed martyr and passion-bearer Theodotus.
