Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…”—
Worshiping the living God, the Creator of all creation, thou didst reject the worship of the earthly, O Thalalæus; wherefore, the Judge of the contest hath glorified thee in sufferings and miracles.
Theotokion: We mortals have become immortal through the divine grace of thy birthgiving; we have been delivered from the primal corruption, O all-pure Theotokos, and have been adorned with the vesture of incorruption.
Thou didst put forth offshoots like a fruitful olive-tree, O wise one, stretching forth thy mind to the heights of patience; wherefore, thou hast poured forth the oil of miracles upon the faithful, O martyr Thalalæus.
Noetically providing the lamp of thy soul with the oil of the virtues, O glorious martyr Thalalæus, thou didst light it with the fire of suffering. Wherefore, thou hast attained unto the divine bridal-chamber.
Shown forth to be a fellow sufferer and warrior with the martyrs, thou wast an excellent warrior of the King of glory, and by the trials and torture didst trample the arrogance of the idolaters underfoot. Wherefore, we hymn thine honored memory, O wise Thalalæus.
Ikos: With songs and laudations let us all now hymn and piously praise the brave servant of the truth of Christ as a steadfast athlete and preacher of the Faith, who hath cast down the wiles of the enemy and denounced all the soul-destroying madness of the idols; for having stood before the all-iniquitous like a lamb in the midst of wolves, he piously proclaimed the law of the Lord; and piously keeping it in oneness of mind, let us hymn the honored memory of the all-wise Thalalæus.
