Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Rejoicing, thou didst enter the furnace, O Capito, yet thou didst remain unconsumed, like the three youths, rescuing from the fire to come the unbelievers, who came to believe through thy divine miracles.
Theotokion: The Word of God Who with His hand fashioned Eve, O Maiden, desiring to edify all, took on form within thy womb, He Who is equally enthroned with the Father and the Spirit, receiving a beginning in time.
Neither fearing nor daunted by the tyrant’s command, O most sacred Capito, thou didst array thyself in priestly vesture, bearing therein a fiery coal, O blessed one.
With thy divine words thou didst close off the path of foolishness, imparting an understanding of piety to all who were sunk in the abyss of the madness of idolatry, O Capito performer of the divine mysteries, who art acceptable to God.
