Irmos: The Angel caused the furnace to pour forth dew for the venerable children, and the command of God consumed the Chaldæans and prevailed upon the tyrant to cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Thou didst quickly end the fear of him who was filled with fright by the sight of thee, revealing what had befallen thee according to the providence of God, O pure one, for which thou gavest glory to God with thanksgiving in his presence.
Theotokion: O most lauded one, thou wast well-pleased to receive thy servant, and didst vouchsafe her ineffable good things. By her supplications make us also to partake of incorruptible food, O pure one.
Having fasted for thirty-six years, unable to receive communion of the Savior’s Body and Blood, thou didst ask him who happened upon thee to bring thee reverently a portion thereof.
He came, bearing what thou didst desire, and with all reverence placed it in thy hand; and thou, receiving it, didst say unto God in gladness: “Now Thou dost mercifully let me, Thy handmaid, depart, according to Thy word!”
