Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “Seeking the highest…”—
Following Thee, O Christ, the martyr Theodosia eagerly accepted death, undaunted by the threats of the tyrants, and she emulated Thy voluntary suffering.
Theotokion: Finding thee to be a wholly perfect and all-comely turtle-dove, a blossom and lily of the valley, O Mother of God, the noetic Bridegroom made His abode within thee.
Readily strengthened by Thy Cross, O Savior, women trample upon the heads of serpents, as Thou didst foretell, for they are wounded by the love and divine desire of Thee.
Through labors thou didst attain unto the life abounding in ease, O martyr, and with thy blood thou didst choke Copronymus, the enemy of the Church of Christ, O most blessed Theodosia; and thou dost rejoice with the armies on high, protecting those who honor thy memory.
