Possessed of adoption by grace, O most lauded passion-bearers, ye rejected the adoption of the Moslems and spurned all their honors and pleasures, that ye might gain Christ alone.

Ikos: O brethren, we must ever and in all things be prepared for the inscrutable judgments of God’s providence concerning us, not least for lengthy captivity by the tyrants who have become the cause of many spiritual benefits for us, and because of whom and through whom rightly glorious, lovely and worthy fruit of the granary of heaven hath sprung forth for Christ: the newly manifest martyrs who now stand before us for glorification. For, being steadfast in wisdom and protected by the power of Christ, they considered all the sweet things of this life to be but dung, and went forth into the arena of suffering. Wherefore, having cast down the ungodliness of the Moslems and proclaimed the Christian Faith with boldness, for its sake they manfully endured multifarious tortures to the end and have received crowns of martyrdom, crying out to Him Who hath crowned them: Thou art the confirmation of martyrs, O Christ!
O warriors of Christ, your holy relics are a wondrous infirmary, an animate display of our Orthodox Faith, a coffer of miracles rich in myrrh, a vessel of heavenly fragrances surpassing the sweet scent of earthly perfumes. Entreat Christ God, that He grant remission of transgressions unto those who honor you, O new martyrs.
Thou wast the divinely inscribed scroll of Isaiah, O Mary, the animate tabernacle of Moses and the strong rampart of Amos, the golden lamp-stand of Zachariah, the unquarried mountain of Daniel and the transcendent proclamation of the prophets. O Theotokos, ask thou forgiveness of debts for us who glorify thy birthgiving.
