Ἦχος πλ. δʹ. Ὁ Εἱρμός.

Mode pl. 4. Heirmos.

Μυστικὸς εἶ Θεοτόκε Παράδεισος, ἀγεωργήτως βλαστήσασα Χριστόν, ὑφ' οὗ τὸ τοῦ Σταυροῦ, ζωηφόρον ἐν γῇ, πεφυτούργηται δένδρον· δι' οὗ νῦν ὑψουμένου, προσκυνοῦντες αὐτόν, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν. (δίς)

Theotokos, you are mystical Paradise, * for without husbandry you have blossomed Christ, * by whom on earth the Cross, as a life-bearing tree, has been planted and watered. * As it is now exalted, * we adore Him and worship Him and magnify you. (2)

Τροπάρια.

Troparia.

Σταυρὲ [πανάγιε] τοῦ Χριστοῦ, σκέπε ἡμᾶς τῇ δυνάμει σου.

[All-holy] Cross of Christ, guard us by your power.

Ἀγαλλέσθω τὰ δρυμοῦ ξύλα σύμπαντα, ἁγιασθείσης τῆς φύσεως αὐτῶν, ὑφ' οὗ περ ἐξ ἀρχῆς, ἐφυτεύθη Χριστοῦ, τανυθέντος ἐν ξύλῳ· δι' οὗ νῦν ὑψουμένου, προσκυνοῦμεν αὐτὸν καὶ μεγαλύνομεν.

Let all the trees of the forest greatly rejoice, * because their nature was sanctified when Christ, * by whom they were originally planted on earth, * was crucified upon one. * As it is now exalted, * we adore Him and worship Him and magnify Him.[SD]
Σταυρὲ [πανάγιε] τοῦ Χριστοῦ, σκέπε ἡμᾶς τῇ δυνάμει σου.

[All-holy] Cross of Christ, guard us by your power.

Ἱερὸν ἠγέρθη κέρας θεόφροσι, τῆς κεφαλῆς τῶν ἁπάντων ὁ Σταυρός, ἐν ᾧ ἁμαρτωλῶν νοουμένων, συνθλῶνται τὰ κέρατα πάντα, δι' οὗ νῦν ὑψουμένου, προσκυνοῦμεν αὐτὸν καὶ μεγαλύνομεν.

A sacred horn of the Head of all has been raised up, * the Cross of Christ, for people of godly mind. * By it are all the horns of intelligible sinners completely crushed and broken. * As it is now exalted, * we adore Him and worship Him and magnify Him.[SD]
Εἱρμὸς Ἕτερος.

Another Heirmos.

Ἦχος πλ. δʹ. Ὁ Εἱρμός.

Mode pl. 4. Heirmos.

Ὁ διὰ βρώσεως τοῦ ξύλου, τῷ γένει προσγενόμενος θάνατος, διὰ Σταυροῦ κατήργηται σήμερον· τῆς γὰρ προμήτορος ἡ παγγενής, κατάρα διαλέλυται, τῷ βλαστῷ τῆς ἁγνῆς Θεομήτορος· ἢν πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις, τῶν οὐρανῶν μεγαλύνουσι.

Eating the tree's forbidden fruit once * in Paradise brought death to the human race. * But through the Cross, today death has no effect, * because the curse that fell on the entire human race through mother Eve * was undone by the Offspring of the all pure Mother of God, who now is by all the hosts of heaven magnified.[SD]
Τροπάρια.

Troparia.

Σταυρὲ [πανάγιε] τοῦ Χριστοῦ, σκέπε ἡμᾶς τῇ δυνάμει σου.

[All-holy] Cross of Christ, guard us by your power.

Μὴ τὴν πικρίαν τὴν τοῦ ξύλου, ἐάσας ἀναιρέσιμον Κύριε, διὰ Σταυροῦ τελείως ἐξήλειψας· ὅθεν καὶ ξύλον ἔλυσε ποτέ, πικρίαν ὑδάτων Μεῤῥᾶς, προτυποῦν τοῦ Σταυροῦ τὴν ἐνέργειαν· ἣν πᾶσαι αἱ Δυνάμεις, τῶν οὐρανῶν μεγαλύνουσιν.

You did not let the bitter taste of the tree annihilate us, O Lord our God, * but by Your Cross You eradicated it. * And to prefigure what Your Cross would do, * the wood dissolved the bitterness * of the water of Marah in times of old. * This power of the Cross is by all the hosts of heaven magnified.[SD]
Δόξα.

Glory.

Ἀδιαλείπτως βαπτομένους, τῷ ζόφῳ τοῦ προπάτορος Κύριε, διὰ Σταυροῦ ἀνύψωσας σήμερον· ὡς γὰρ τῇ πλάνῃ ἄγαν ἀκρατῶς, ἡ φύσις προκατηνέχθη, παγκλήρως ἡμᾶς πάλιν ἀνώρθωσε, τὸ φῶς τὸ τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου· ὃν οἱ πιστοὶ μεγαλύνομεν.

We were continually plunged in our forefather's darkness, O Lord our God; * but through the Cross, today You have raised us up. * Even as all of human nature was swept down by error uncontrollably, * so the light of Your Cross lifted the entire human race. * And therefore we the believers magnify the Cross.[SD]
Καὶ νῦν.

Both now.

Ἴνα τὸν τύπον ὑποδείξῃς, τῷ κόσμῳ προσκυνούμενον Κύριε, τὸν τοῦ Σταυροῦ ἐν πᾶσιν ὡς ἔνδοξον, ἐν οὐρανῷ ἐμόρφωσας, φωτὶ ἀπλέτῳ ἠγλαϊσμένον, Βασιλεῖ πανοπλίαν ἀήττητον· ἣν πᾶσαι αἱ Δυνάμεις, τῶν οὐρανῶν μεγαλύνουσιν.

Wishing to show the world that truly * the figure of Your Cross is most glorious * and should be venerated by everyone, * O Lord, You formed it in the sky above resplendently with boundless light, * the invincible armor that Constantine the Emperor adopted, * which all the hosts
