Exapostilarion: Spec. Mel.: “Hearken, ye women…”—
Irmos: Eve, through weakness, abode under the curse of disobedience; but thou, O Virgin Theotokos, hast put forth blessing for the world through the Offspring of thy child-bearing. Wherefore, we all magnify thee.
Your labors on earth received the gladness of heaven, where the choirs of martyrs and the armies of the godly and all the first-born rejoice in your triumph, O most blessed ones.
Theotokion: Eve was driven away from the tree of life, of which she had been forbidden to eat; but thou, O Virgin Theotokos, hast given birth to everlasting Life, granting life-bearing activity to the world through faith.
O all-blessed ones, from cruel bonds and misfortunes deliver all who with faith celebrate your holy festival, asking peace and tranquility and salvation, O blessed ones.
Illumined with rich light and shining with grace, O athletes, entreat the Benefactor, that He grant to those who have recourse unto you and those who have struggled with you, remission of offenses and grief.
With hymns we crown Acindynus, Pegasius and Elpidephorus, together with Aphthonius and Anempodistus; for, having denounced the superstitious deception of the Persians, and endured flogging and wounds for Christ, they have received ineffable glory.
Rejoice, O palace of God! Rejoice, mountain overshadowed! Rejoice, bush unconsumed! Rejoice, throne of glory! Rejoice, divine table! Rejoice, golden jar! Rejoice, fiery candlestand! Rejoice, O Mary, Virgin Mother, thou light cloud!
