Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Today the universal festival of the martyrs of Christ hath dawned for us, illumining with the grace of miracles those who approach with faith and spiritual joy, and who cry out with love: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: Thou gavest birth to Christ Who is seen to be in two natures, manifestly bearing a single hypostasis composed of divinity and manhood, truly joining together in natural unity. Wherefore, we bless thee, O Mary, Bride of God.
The confessors of Thy divinity, O Master, easily abolished all ungodliness of the tyrants, undaunted by the threats of the evil-minded; and, strengthened by faith, they cried: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
The most wise confessors, standing up for the divine dogmas, vanquishing hordes of the enemy, and slain by the sword, have manifestly and all-gloriously shown forth an all-splendid victory; and, falling, they have triumphed over the adversary.
