When the worshipers saw the idolatry of many years, weakened, by your prayer, O holy one, raised up and walking, many believed in Christ; The priests of demonism, consumed by envy, incited the king to rage. For you, who have mercilessly labored and been scorched for Christ, we call with tenderness: Rejoice, you who despise earthly pleasures; Rejoice, exceeding material blessings. Rejoice, for you have counted all the red of this world for nothing; Rejoice, for you have shaken off the fleeting glory from yourself.

But you, again presenting yourself before the king, solemnly sang to Christ God: Alleluia.
