Irmos: Grant me a robe of light, O Thou Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, O most merciful Christ our God.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “Seeking the highest…”—
Through the laver of divine enlightenment ye approached those who wed not, being afterwards most perfectly baptized by blood, O athletes.
Theotokion: Thou gavest birth to the Son Who is equal in honor with the Father, O thou who knewest not wedlock, and in manner past understanding thou didst feed the Nurturer of all with milk.
Having enlightened thy soul with the great harshness of fasting, thou didst show it forth as comely with the light of suffering, O Galacteon.
Having mounted the chariot of your blood, O martyrs, ye reached the way of heaven, wherein ye rest.
Having struggled splendidly, ye were reckoned among the legions of Christ’s martyrs which fought valiantly, O glorious Galacteon, with Epistemis, thine honored spouse, who suffered with thee. Unceasingly entreat the one God in behalf of us all.
