Irmos: Celebrating this divine and most honored festival of the Mother of God, come, ye divinely wise, let us clap our hands and glorify God Who was born of her.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Sessional hymn, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “When the stone had been sealed…”—
Taking upon thyself a pure life of abstinence, as though thou wast thyself incorporeal, thou didst stand in all-night vigils, O wise one, praying copiously with true faith and godly humility.
Theotokion: When thou didst listen to the words of the divine Gabriel, O most immaculate Maiden, thou didst conceive the Word in thy seedless womb, and gavest birth to Him ineffably.
Adorned with visions of what is good, thou wast seen to be like an angel abiding in the flesh, and, passing on, thou hast made thine abode with the angels, O divinely blessed father Palladius.
Having the angels as thy helpers, thou didst dispel the demons’ illusions and all their wickedness, and without hindrance didst tread the path which leadeth to life, O divinely blessed one.
Lord, have mercy. Thrice
Living the monastic life in God-pleasing manner, O our God-bearing father, thou didst search for God with prayer and fasting, and didst become a pure habitation of the Spirit, shedding rays of virtue upon the faithful, whereby thou dost illumine all who honor thee. Glory to Christ Who hath glorified thee! Glory to Him Who strengthened thee! Glory to Him Who performeth healing for all through thee!
