Icon of the Mother of God of Abalaka - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
Today your Icon shines brightly like an unsetting sun, O Most Pure One, / appearing miraculously in the heavens to a widow in the village of Abalak. / And bowing before it, we humbly cry out to the Theotokos: / “O Sovereign Lady hymned by all, grant peace to your abode, / and to our souls great mercy.”
Kontakion — Tone 4
Luke, the preacher of the Gospel of Christ, / painted your icons in antiquity, O Most Pure One, / but a widow, miraculously seeing one of them, / told us of your command, and turning to you the faithful cried out, / “Rejoice, Sovereign Lady, and reveal the Sign of your mercy toward us.”
Kontakion — Tone 4
Reverently bowing down before the Abalak Icon of our Sovereign Lady, / with humility we cry out: / “Save us by your prayers, O Most Pure Virgin.”
