Irmos: Celebrating this divine and most honored festival of the Mother of God, come, ye divinely wise, let us clap our hands and glorify God Who was born of her.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “Seeking the highest…” —
Theotokion: Thou alone hast restored the laws of nature, O Virgin, having given birth to immortal God, Who clothed Himself in mortal flesh, that through grace He might bring life to the dead.
Thy journeys were on the waters, O most blessed Nazarius, and thus thy footsteps were not recognized by the enemy because of the Spirit, by Whose power thou didst put them all to shame.
By the grace of God thou hast healed the incurable sufferings of men’s bodies, O martyr Nazarius, and pourest forth fragrant myrrh upon those who have recourse to thy precious relics.
The godly Protase, and with him the great Gervase, having manifestly trampled transitory wealth and power underfoot, have been vouchsafed eternal glory.
Revealed as radiant beacons, O divine martyrs, ye illumine creation with the light of miracles, ever dispelling the profound night of infirmities, and praying unceasingly to Christ, the one God, in behalf of us all.
Ikos: Ever standing as radiant and divine luminaries before the great Light, O divinely blessed martyrs, ever enlightened and deified by the effulgence of never-waning divinity which is emitted thereby, enlighten those who with faith celebrate your divine memory, and deliver them from darkness, the passions, misfortunes and evils, praying unceasingly in behalf of us all.
