Irmos: O Theotokos, we, the faithful, perceive thee to be a noetic furnace; for, as the supremely Exalted One saved the three youths, in thy womb the praised and most glorious God of our fathers wholly renewed the world.
Extinguishing the furnace of youthful passions with the dew of abstinence, and the fire of suffering with blood, ye reduced to ashes another furnace, that of idolatry, hymning God, Who is praised and all-glorious, O martyrs.
Theotokion: O pure one, thou hast manifestly annulled the curse of Eve, our first mother, having borne the First-fruits of blessedness, O all-immaculate Maiden who knewest not wedlock. And the ranks of angels bless Him, the praised and all-glorious God of our fathers.
“Let us stand firm, for, lo! the contest is begun! Let us not weaken, for with His life-creating hand Christ will manifestly bestow crowns of endurance upon us for the sake of our sufferings!” the athletes Carpus and Papylas cried with fervor of soul.
O holy ones who are manifestly deified by entreating God in every way, ye easily endured wounding by the godless, withstanding it as though it were another person suffering, remaining truly yourselves, and hymning our praised and all-glorious God.
