Irmos: Christ is my power, my God and my Lord, the honored Church doth sing, crying out in godly manner with a pure mind, keeping festival in the Lord.
Having first rid thy soul of the tumult of the passions, O sacred minister, thou didst receive the holy and divine anointing, and at thine end wast adorned with an athlete’s wreath.
Theotokion: We bless the Virgin as the portal leading to divine entry, as the divine garden of paradise, as the noetic place of sanctity, as the beauty of Jacob.
Thou art seen ever shining with divine signs and wonders, and dost illumine the whole world, receiving grace from God, O right wondrous holy hierarch.
Thou didst first tend the people with grace and unbloody sacrifices, sacredly hallowed as a holy hierarch; and being slaughtered like a lamb, thou wast brought to the Lord.
