Irmos: Grant me a robe of light, O Thou Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, O most merciful Christ our God.
Sessional hymn, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “The choir of the angels…”—
The cruel one imprisoned thee in a dungeon and with starvation sought to compel thee to deny Christ Whom Thou hadst loved from thy youth, O blessed one.
Theotokion: On the day of judgment, O Mistress Bride of God, cause me to be clothed in a robe of light by thy supplications, for I hymn thee.
Cast into prison, O wise one, thou didst exhort all who beheld thee not to fall away from Christ, teaching them with boldness.
The cruel and mindless tyrant commanded that thou be beheaded with the sword, O martyr, for not offering sacrifice to the idols; but thou didst pay him no heed.
Armed with valor of soul, O divinely wise one who art most rich, thou didst give thyself over to divers torments, afire with love for the Master. Wherefore, thou didst denounce the savagery of the tyrants and hast received from God an imperishable crown of victory.
