O blessed tree, which kings honor, and rulers revere, both men and women and all nature and creation of mankind possess as a phylactery; which demons shudder at, and the devil trembles; which angels sing hymns to, and the heavens bless; and Churches glorify Christ who was crucified upon it! To whom be the glory and the power, now and forever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Ὢ δένδρον μακαριστὸν, ὃ βασιλεῖς τιμῶσιν, καὶ ὕπαρχοι σέβονται, ἄνδρες τε καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ πᾶσα φύσις καὶ κτίσις ἀνθρώπων φυλακτήριον κέκτηνται· ὃ δαίμονες φρίττουσι, καὶ ὁ διάβολος τρέμει· ὃ ἄγγελοι ὑμνοῦσι, καὶ οὐρανοὶ εὐλογοῦσιν· Ἐκκλησίαι δὲ σεμνύνουσι τὸν ἐν αὐτῷ σταυρωθέντα Χριστόν! ᾧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνα, τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
