“Maximov” Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
O Sovereign Lady, / today the most glorious city of Vladimir rejoices exceedingly, / joyously celebrating the Feast of your apparition to Saint Maximus; / as we remember him now and beseeching you we cry out: / “O Most Holy Sovereign Lady Theotokos, / entreat your Son, that He strengthen the Orthodox Church, / and that He preserve our souls in peace in the Orthodox Faith.”
Kontakion — Tone 6
Turn your gaze toward us, O Theotokos praised by all, shine light into our darkened hearts, illumine your flock, O Most Pure one, for as the Mother of the Creator, whatever you wish, you are able to do, and you cry to those who entreat you, “I am with you, and no one can prevail against you.”1
