Irmos: When the golden image was worshipped on the plain of Dura, Thy three youths spurned the ungodly command, and, cast into the midst of the fire, bedewed, they sang: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
By the power of God thy graveclothes were preserved incorrupt, and at the divine behest thy bones did not decompose, O blessed one, but scatter abroad the malice of the unclean spirits. And we cry aloud: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Theotokion: Of old Moses beheld the bush which burnt unconsumed by the fire on Sinai, prefiguring thy womb, O all-pure Mother; for thou didst conceive the divine Fire and wast not consumed, but gavest birth unto the Fashioner of light: God and man.
The people assemble with haste, and the pious emperor and a multitude of nobles, taking thy glorious shrine upon their shoulders, thou who was pleasing unto God, bear it forth like the all-holy ark, and chant: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Let the divine temple of the disciples of the Word faithfully receive the colleague of the apostles, the companion of the martyrs, the foundation of patriarchs, and one who shared the life of the Fathers, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
