Icon of the Mother of God “Comfort” or “Consolation” - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Prosomoion: “As a citizen of the wilderness...”)
We have obtained thy venerable icon, O Theotokos, / as a divine consolation and unshakeable wall of defense / from which thou dost mystically dispense consolation and strength to us who, / from our souls, cry out in faith to thee, our consoling Lady: / “Glory to thy wonders, chaste Lady! / Glory to thine assistance! / Glory to thy consolation of us, O undefiled Lady!”
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “To our leader in battle...”)
Taking refuge in thy mighty protection, / O comforting ever-virgin Theotokos, we are freed from all harm. / Now, as the inexhaustible source of compassion, console us in our troubles as we cry to thee: / “Hail, Help of all!”
