Meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God in memory of the Saving of Moscow from the Invasion of Khan Achmed - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Today the most glorious city of Moscow rejoices brightly, / like the radiance of the sun, O Sovereign Lady, on receiving your wonderworking Icon, / to which we now come and pray to you, crying out: / "O most wondrous Lady Theotokos, pray to Christ our God, Who was incarnate of you, / that this city and all Christian cities and countries may be preserved unharmed / from all of the Enemy's snares, / and that He may save our souls, for He is merciful."

Troparion — Tone 4

O Sovereign Lady, / defend all who are in danger and misfortune / or weak from many sins, / and who stand before your holy Icon / praying with tears, humility, repentance, and invincible hope, / free them from every evil, / give them the grace they need, / and save us all, O Virgin Theotokos, / for You are the divine refuge of those who follow you.

Kontakion — Tone 8

We sing a song of victory to the Leader who defends us, / for we are delivered from troubles by the coming of your revered Icon, O Sovereign Lady Theotokos, / and joyously celebrate this meeting with you, and as is customary, we cry out to you, / "Rejoice, O Bride, who has not known marriage."

Kontakion — Tone 8

To our Protector and Intercessor, the Virgin and the Theotokos, / with a clear conscience, having established the Russian land in the Faith, / and having unfailing hope, let us come to her wonderworking and most pure Icon, / that we may cry out to her: "Rejoice, O Bride who has not known marriage."

Kontakion — Tone 8

O victorious Leader of triumphant hosts, / you have delivered us from evils by the coming of your honorable Icon, O Lady Theotokos, / radiantly we celebrate the festival of your meeting, and as is customary we cry to you / "Rejoice, O Bride who has not known marriage."
