Irmos: O Lord, Fashioner of the vault of heaven and Creator of the Church: establish me in Thy love, O Summit of desire, confirmation of the faithful, Who alone lovest mankind.
Kontakion of the martyr, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…”—
Sessional hymn of the martyr, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Having been lifted up…”—
Taking up not shield or spear, but the trophy of the Cross with unwavering faith, thou didst eagerly go forth to battle and mighty struggles against the wiles of the prince of this world.
Theotokion: O all-pure one, thou alone hast led me, who was slain of old, up to life again, having given birth to the hypostatic Life. And malicious death, striking it, hath manifestly broken asunder.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Sessional hymn from the Pentecostarion.
“Desiring Thee, O Bridegroom, I have no fear of death! Delighting in Thy beauties, I put aside bitterness!” Glyceria truly cried out, rejoicing as she suffered torture and cruel torments.
Suspended by thy hair, lacerated with iron claws, thou didst endure bodily pain, O most honored one, looking forward with purity of mind to the delight which is devoid of pain and the beauty of the Bridegroom.
Loving Mary, the Virgin Theotokos, thou didst preserve thy virginity uncorrupted; and burning with love for the Lord, thou didst suffer with manly mind even unto death. Wherefore, O virgin martyr, Christ God hath crowned thee with a twofold crown.
Splendidly adorned as a bride of Christ in the vesture of thy sacred and wondrous struggles, O virgin, thou hast entered into His incorrupt bridal-chamber, where thou dost delight in His beauty. Yet pray that we who hymn thee with love may be saved from all want.
