Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Clad in an innocent character, thou didst acquire the noble beauty of the virtues, emulating the willing obedience of Christ even unto death, O most blessed one.
Theotokion: As Isaiah announced prophetically, O all-pure one, the God and Lord Who for our sake became incarnate and was born of thee, is our creative hope and song.
By thy guilelessness thou didst put to shame the author of evil, O father, and by thine endurance of temptations thou didst humble to the ground his arrogant and vaunted malice.
Having first learned patient asceticism, O venerable one, cutting down the beginnings of the passions, thou wast later arrayed in the vesture of dispassion, covered with divine grace.
Having strengthened the state of thy soul with steadfast patience and a valiant mind, O most blessed one, thou didst endure the struggle of martyrdom all thy days, and wast shown to be crowned.
