Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Illumined with outpourings of divine light, O glorious one, and standing with the ranks of angels before Christ God, enlighten those who celebrate thy splendid memory.
Theotokion: At the word of the angel thou didst conceive the Word of the Father in thy womb, Who in His goodness desired to deliver mortals from irrationality, O all-pure Virgin Mother, blessed and most immaculate one.
From unity with God naught could separate thee, who through faith wast far removed from all carnal pleasures, O martyr; and in purity thou dost delight in thine uttermost Desire.
Serving the living God with purity of mind, O most wise and blessed one, thou didst in nowise offer worship to dead graven images. Wherefore, slain, thou didst pass over into everlasting life.
