Exapostilarion: Spec. Mel: “Heaven with stars...” —
Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
Glory..., Now & ever...: Theotokion —
Adorned by thy sufferings, abiding and rejoicing with the assemblies of the blessed and the choirs of martyrs, thou now standest, crowned, before Him Whom thou didst desire, O Theodore.
Theotokion: Come ye all, and with faith and love let us unceasingly praise the blessed Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, having on her account received joy everlasting.
Caught up to the heights of heaven, having spurned earthly things, thou wast accounted worthy of the end for which thou didst long, receiving the very perfection of desires, rejoicing, O Theodore.
Having boldness before God, as a noble and wise athlete ask thou remission of offenses for us who praise thee with love, delivering us all from sufferings and sorrows.
The divinely wise martyr, desiring Thee alone, the immortal Word, Who suffered and died in the flesh, having received Thine immortality, hath made his abode in the heavens, in the presence of Thee, the almighty Creator of all.
Adorned with comeliness, a right mighty commander, a warrior glorious among athletes, thou didst offer thyself to Christ, and wast shown to be a divine gift to the world, O Theodore.
By thy mighty protection keep all of us, thy servants, unharmed by the assaults of the enemy, O pure one, for thee alone have we acquired as a refuge amid our needs.
