Irmos: I have heard of Thy glorious dispensation, O Christ God, how Thou wast born of the Virgin, that Thou mightest save from deception those who cry: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Having heard glorious and all-wondrous things of the Mount of the Caves, thou didst betake thyself thither, O venerable one; and beholding the grace of God descending with fire and dew at the ground-breaking of the church, though thou wast yet a youth thou didst chant with the elders: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Theotokion: O pure Maiden, thou givest the sweet milk of repentance and the heavenly nectar of compunction to those who with love offer hymns unto thee; and, bound fast by fear and moved by love, I offer these to thee, O Mistress, and pray: Sweeten thou my heart, O thou who gavest birth to my sweet Jesus Christ!
Fashioning a greater and more perfect tabernacle for the Holy Spirit within thy soul, thou didst gild it by thy loving acceptance of the commands of the God-bearing fathers, O holy Nestor; wherefore, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have come to thee, as to a beautiful bridal chamber, and made their abode in thee.
Receiving the teaching of the God-bearing fathers like sweet milk, thou didst fulfill their words in deeds, O blessed one, and wast filled with higher wisdom. And, honoring it in thy writings, we gladden our souls with the knowledge of the grace of God which descended upon those hills.
