Irmos: O ye people, let us send up a hymn unto our wondrous God, Who freed Israel from bondage, singing and crying out a hymn of victory unto Thee Who alone art Master.
O much suffering martyr, entreat Christ the King, that He save those who piously praise this thy splendid festival, that they may come to share in the kingdom of heaven.
Theotokion: Gideon foretold that thine all-pure womb would be like a fleece, receiving the Dew of heaven Who drieth up the sea of ungodliness and giveth drink to those who yearn for understanding, O Maiden.
Wholly strengthened by the love of Christ, O thou who art all rich, thou didst hold the flesh in contempt as that which would become corrupt, and didst endure tortures, denouncing the falsehood of idolatry in thy manliness.
Illumined by the enlightenment of the all-holy Spirit, thou didst pass through the night of ignorance, O Basiliscus, and through the radiance of sufferings wast shown to be like the sun, splendidly illumining all creation.
