Yelets Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Today the ancient city of Yelets rejoices with exultation, / remembering the glorious miracle of the Most Holy Theotokos, / when on the streets of the capital city of Moscow the people met her wonderworking Icon, / then the Sovereign Lady, on Mount Argamach in the city of Yelets, / came out to meet the wicked Tamerlane, / turning back his formidable offensive. / Contemplating the wondrous appearance of the newly-painted Icon, / and thanking our Protectress for all her blessings, / we humbly cry: “Do not forsake us in the future, O Merciful Mother.”
