Irmos: O Word, with divine vision the prophet perceived Thee Who wast to become incarnate of the Theotokos alone, the mountain overshadowed; and with fear he glorified Thy power.
Ye showed yourselves to be reason-endowed sheep manifestly following your Shepherd, the King of all, and ye frolic with the martyrs in the heavenly fold, O crown-bearers.
Theotokion: The tongue of mortals is not worthy to hymn thee fittingly as the Theotokos, O most immaculate and all-pure one who hast been shown to be the refuge of Christians.
Ye were shown to be an chosen team, ploughing the furrow of an honorable and valiant martyrdom; and ye cultivated the grain which is laid up in the granaries of heaven.
Your noses, heads, nails and hands cut off for Christ, O valiant ones, ye uprooted the falsehood of ungodliness and were shown to be victors.
