Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
Thy martyr, O Christ, having acquired Thee as mighty power against the invisible foe, cast down his feeble might.
Theotokion: Unto us thou gavest birth to the timeless Light, the Effulgence of the Father, Who came under time in the richness of His goodness, O most immaculate one.
The earth hath been hallowed by thy blood, O blessed one, and the hordes of the demons have been wounded by thy wounds, O divinely wise and right wondrous one.
Possessing thee as a lustrous and precious pearl, O most blessed one, the honored Church is adorned in thy crowning.
