Irmos: The bow of the mighty is become weak, and the strengthless have girded themselves with power; wherefore, my heart is established in the Lord.
Kontakion of the martyr, in Tone IV—
Sessional hymn of the martyr, in Tone VIII: Spec. Mel.: “Thou hast appeared…”—
Sensing the sweet fragrance of Him Who abased Himself, and receiving Him Who hath perfumed the whole world with grace, O glorious one, thou didst take wing toward the desire of Him.
Theotokion: Hastening toward thee, death perforce ended its onrush, striking against Him Who was born of thee, O most immaculate one; wherefore, we call thee the firstfruits of immortality.
Glory…, Now & ever…: sessional hymn from the Pentecostarion.
In thy struggles thou didst have God as a helper defending thee, O most wise one; wherefore, crowned, thou didst vanquish the tyrant.
O most lauded one, thou wast an unshakable pillar of virtue, an abode of piety and courage, and a vessel of chastity.
Adorned with the beauties of virginity, O virgin Irene, through thy suffering thou becamest most beautiful, dyed in thine own flowing blood; and thou didst cast down the falsehood of ungodliness. Wherefore, thou hast received the honors of victory from the hand of thy Creator.
When thou wast separated from thy body after many pangs, O martyr, great peace was thy lot; for, rejoicing on high, the Bridegroom in the heavens received thee, all-illumined and radiant in thy suffering, and He led thee, rejoicing, into the divine bridal-chamber.
