Irmos: Having traversed the water as though it were dry land, and escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israelite cried aloud: Let us chant unto our Deliverer and God!
Thou didst spurn the command of the ungodly to sacrifice to inanimate and deaf idols; and Christ hath won a victory through thy mighty and valiant martyric opposition.
Theotokion: Thou alone, O Maiden, didst contain in thy womb Him Whom the heavens cannot contain, Who as God made His abode within thee and through thee assumed human nature.
The tyrant freed from bonds those who rejected Christ, yet all whom he found worshipping Him as God he began to torture in every way; but when he came to thee, O divinely wise one, he was put to shame.
Valiantly hastening to the tribunal, O martyr, thou didst amaze the ungodly one; and with boldness thou didst denounce the weakness, corruption and impotence of the pagan gods.
