Irmos: Thou didst come forth from the Virgin, neither a mediator nor an angel, but Thyself incarnate, O Lord, and hast saved me, the whole man; wherefore, I cry to thee: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
In that thou didst live with the godly Pachomius, thou didst emulate the ways of his abstinence, O divinely wise father Theodore, being like unto him also in the Orthodoxy of thy faith.
Theotokion: In astonishment, the heads of the powerful were cut off by fear of thy birthgiving, O most immaculate Theotokos; and the assembly of the venerable rightly marvelled at thy divine grace.
Worthily didst thou receive the laudable kingdom and divine effulgence, in that thou wast one endued with knowledge through purity and by partaking of ineffable joy, O father.
The dwelling-places of the Ethiopians and their demonic assemblies were stricken with awe by thy patience and humility, and thy constant standing in vigil, O right wondrous one.
