Irmos: Beholding Thee lifted up upon the Cross, O Sun of righteousness, the Church stood rooted in place, crying out as is meet: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
The accursed tyrant desired in his arrogance to frighten the might of thine endurance with wounds, but thou, O all-lauded one, didst cry aloud: “Glory to my God!”
Theotokion: Thou didst divinely give birth to the incarnate Word, O pure Virgin, and remainest a virgin. Wherefore, with steadfast faith and unceasing voices we cry out to thee: “Rejoice, O Mistress!”
Thou wast providentially enriched with a divinely bestowed and godly name, O martyr and passion-bearer; for thou becamest a gift of God which gladdeneth us who honor thee with faith and love.
Arrayed in vesture adorned with the blood of thy martyrdom as with dye, O divinely wise Theodosia, thou didst cry out to thy Bridegroom with love: “I hasten after Thee!”
