Troparion

Sisters in the flesh united in the Spirit,
you wrestled with the prince of evil and endured your martyrdom.
Holy and blest Agape, Irene, and Chionia,
pray to Christ our God to save our souls.

Kontakion

Bright mirrors of virginity,
radiant with your martyrdom,
you fill the Church with light and dispel the darkness of evil,
Agape, Irene, and Chionia, Christ’s precious jewels.
