Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
When thou didst give utterance to divine discourse, the army of God appeared before thee who wast delivered from vile deception. And by the sword the martyrs offered themselves as lambs, as unblemished sacrifices, unto Him Who sacrificed Himself for our sake.
Theotokion: Every mind and heart that pondereth thine incomprehensible birthgiving doth tremble, O Maiden; for thou didst bear God the Word in thy womb, Who through thee delivereth from all necessity those who honor thee.
Ye were seen to be like lambs in the midst of wild beasts, O athletes, preaching the incarnation of God Who condescended even to assume our flesh Himself; and in godly manner ye inherited a painless end through your pangs.
Today the city of Rome doth splendidly summon every city and land to celebrate your divine sufferings and struggles, O holy ones, setting them forth as a complete and immaterial banquet.
Ye were bound to immeasurable glory, O martyrs Chrysanthus and Daria; and ye stand before the almighty Word as ones crowned, praying in behalf of us who ever call you blessed.
