Irmos: The children of Israel in the furnace, shining more brightly than gold in a crucible in the beauty of their piety, said: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord; hymn and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Shown to be indestructible pillars of the Church of Christ, ye destroyed all the ramparts of impiety, founding upon the Rock of faith, like stones, the faithful that cry: Hymn the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!
Theotokion: O pure one, of old the jar which contained the manna prefigured thee; for thou didst bear in thy womb Christ, our Sweetness, and thou gavest birth in the flesh unto Him Who delivereth from all the bitterness of wicked transgressions those who exalt Him supremely forever.
Ye have been shown to be law-givers inscribing the law of the Spirit in the hearts of the faithful, O most blessed ones, and enlightened thereby they sing: Hymn the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!
O blessed Olympus, having adorned thyself, thou didst meet thine end on the same day as the great Peter, manifestly dying by the sword with Rodion at the command of Nero, the iniquitous emperor.
