¶1

Irmos: Proclaiming the coming of Thine appearance on earth, O Christ God, the prophet cried out with gladness: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶2

He Who granted peace to thee, seeing thee helping Him for the sake of peace, filled thee with manly understanding and strength, O martyr, namesake of peace.

¶3

Theotokion: Saved by thee, O all-pure one, with joy and gladness we cry aloud to thee: Rejoice, O most honored Virgin! Rejoice, O most hymned Theotokos!

¶4

Overcoming thy womanly weakness with strong fervor, O all-blessed martyr, thou didst steadfastly denounce those who worship falsehood.

¶5

Showing forth divine patience, thou didst cast down the arrogance of the tyrants, crying out to thy Bridegroom: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶6

With constant hymnody and entreaties to the Master, O divinely wise one, thou didst sing, and, having hastened to Him, thou beholdest ineffable glory.
