Don Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
Most gracious and swift Protectress of the faithful, / Most Pure Virgin Mother of God. / We beseech you before your holy and wonderworking Icon, / just as you once granted your protection to the city of Moscow, / so now mercifully deliver us from all troubles and misfortunes, / and save our souls, / as the Merciful One.
Troparion — Tone 4
O All-hymned Mother, and glorified by all, / the Queen Mother of God, / the Mother of the Creator of all created things, / the hope of Christians and Protectress of those who have no hope, / and despair of expecting quick help, we beseech you: / be merciful to us sinners, do not abandon your servants, / and do not reject the prayers of those who are unworthy. / We pray, beholding the revered image of your holy and wonderworking Icon we cry out: / “May your mercy be with those who sail and travel; / may your mercy be upon them. / O Sovereign Lady, protect me by your precious robe, / in all difficult situations preserve the faithful, / and entreat Christ God, Who was born of you, / that He may save our souls from sins.”

O Victorious Leader of Triumphant Hosts, / we, your servants, delivered from evil, sing our grateful thanks to you, O Theotokos. / As you possess invincible might, free us from every danger / so that we may sing to you: “Rejoice, O Bride, who knew not wedlock.”

Having moved to the Heavenly abodes with your body, / you did not leave those living on earth, O Theotokos, h / aving granted the opportunity to contemplate and venerate your sacred and wonderworking Icon to all those who love you, / as a sign of your grace, / we venerate it by kissing it.
