Exapostilarion, Spec. Mel: “Hearken, ye women...” —
Irmos: For He Who is mighty hath magnified me; and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him, throughout all generations.
Glory..., Now & ever.…: Theotokion —
Theotokion: Thou wast revealed as the abode of the Light which hath truly driven away the gloom of the ancient ignorance, O pure one, ark of holiness and golden candlestick, O thou who art more spacious than the heavens.
In sacred manner hast thou arrayed thyself in a purple cloak dyed in thy blood; and, holding the Cross in thy right hand as a scepter, thou dost reign with Christ, O blessed Nestor.
Thou art shown to be a ripe cluster on the noetic Vine; and, squeezed out by the winepress of martyrdom, thou hast poured forth the wine of compunction upon us who ever praise thee.
Joining chorus with the angels in the presence of Jesus and delighting in His glory, O Nestor, be thou ever mindful of those who with faith keep thine honored memory.
By the power of the Cross and the supplications of Demetrius, the glorious martyr, thou didst cast down the greatness of the ungodly Lyæus and the pride of the enemy, O Nestor, having first vanquished the passions; and thou wast shown to be an excellent martyr for Christ, O wise sufferer.
Saved by thee, O Theotokos, we hymn thee as an invincible weapon, an unassailable rampart, a tower of all strength, a haven of salvation, a truly divine foundation, and the bridge which leadeth from earth to heaven.
