Irmos: It is not possible for men to behold God, upon Whom the ranks of angels dare not gaze; but through thee, O most pure one, hath the Word appeared incarnate unto men; and magnifying Him with the armies of heaven, we call thee blessed.
Desiring to behold the glory of the Almighty, thou didst endure an unjust death and didst ascend on thy blood as upon a chariot, O glorious hierarch, and hast soared aloft to the heavens, where, rejoicing, thou hast found rest.
Theotokion: With thy light illumine me, I pray, O Virgin divinely blessed among women, and deliver me from everlasting fire, that I may magnify and glorify thee, and hymn thy mighty acts as is meet.
Like light, like the dawn hast thou shone forth upon us, illumining the ends of the earth with radiant beams, O holy hierarch and divinely inspired pastor, and thou freest us from the gloom of the passions. Wherefore, we honor and piously bless thee.
As thou art with the choirs of the patriarchs and martyrs, the apostles, the righteous and the venerable, O divinely blessed one, pray with them, that Christ grant remission of offenses unto all who piously observe thy divine memorial.
The magnificence of thy temple, ever illumined with the effulgence of miracles, freeth from the gloom of the passions those who approach with faith in the Spirit and causeth sicknesses to cease, O martyred hierarch, right wondrous pastor.
