Synaxis of All Saints
Troparion — Tone 4
Adorned in the blood of Your Martyrs throughout all the world, / as if clothed in purple and linen, / through them Your Church cries out to You, O Christ God: / “Bestow Your bounties upon Your people, / grant peace to Your habitation, and great mercy to our souls.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Original Melody)
As the first fruits of nature offered to the Planter of all creation, O Lord, / the inhabited earth brings the God-bearing Martyrs. / By their supplications, and the intercession of the Theotokos, / preserve Your Church in profound peace, O greatly Merciful One.

Troparion — Tone 5
Soften our evil hearts, O Theotokos, and repel the attacks of those who hate us, / and loosen all the rigidity of our soul. / For beholding your holy image, / we are filled with compunction by your compassion and loving kindness toward us, / and we kiss your wounds; / for we are terrified by the darts with which we wound you. / O Compassionate Mother, / do not let us perish because of our hardness of heart, / or our neighbor's hardness of heart, / for you are truly the Softener of Evil Hearts.

By your grace, O Sovereign Lady, / soften the hearts of evildoers, / send down benefactors who will preserve them from all evil; / with gratitude and zeal, we pray to you before your revered icons.

Today, O Sovereign Lady, your most honored Icon has shone upon us in the Heavens like a most radiant sun, / enlightening the world with rays of mercy, which Russia has received most reverently as a Divine gift from on high; / and it glorifies you, O Mother of God, as the Queen of all, / and joyfully magnifies Christ our God, Who was born of you. / Pray to Him, O Lady Theotokos, that He may preserve all Christian cities and countries unharmed from all the machinations of the Enemy, / and that He may save those who with faith bow down before His divine image and your most pure Icon, / O Virgin who knew not wedlock.
Kontakion — Tone 8
O people, let us have recourse to the Virgin Theotokos and Queen, thanking Christ God; / and, gazing tenderly at her wonderworking Icon, let us come and cry out to her: / "O Sovereign Lady Mary, you visited this land by the wondrous appearance of your sacred image; / preserve all Christians in peace and well-being and make all of them heirs of the heavenly life, / for we cry out to you with faith: "Rejoice, O Virgin, salvation of the world."
