Irmos: Every ear trembleth to hear of the ineffable condescension of God, for the Most High willingly came down even to the flesh, becoming man through the Virgin’s womb. Wherefore we, the faithful, magnify the all-pure Theotokos.
Having traversed the storm of martyrdom with the sail of the Cross, thou didst attain unto the calm haven of the kingdom, and like a good merchant thou didst save the freight of piety for Christ our God, the King of all.
Theotokion: Though Thou wast God by nature, yet didst Thou endure to be clothed in man, willingly making Thine abode in the womb of the immaculate one, O Thou Who lovest mankind. Wherefore, knowing that Thou hast volitions corresponding to Thy two natures, we magnify Thee, blessing Thy Mother with faith.
As of old Elijah the Tishbite called down fire from heaven, O blessed one, so didst thou call down flame by thy supplication, whereby thou didst utterly consume the fame of the idols and didst burn the temples of the demons. And God the Creator is magnified.
When thou didst depart thy body through beheading by the sword, the wise hosts received thy godly spirit which had vanquished the cruel evil spirit by grace, O thou who art most rich; and now thou dwellest as a victor of the kingdom in the highest, O Basiliscus.
The earth was sanctified by thy burial and heaven by thy soul, O divinely inspired one; for, arrayed in a splendid robe dyed purple in thy blood, thou reignest forever with Christ our God, being ever mindful of those who commemorate thee.
