Icon of the Mother of God “The Unexpected Joy” - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
Today the faithful people celebrate in spirit, glorifying the fervent helper of the Christian race; / and hastening to her most pure image, let us cry out to her: / "O most merciful Sovereign Lady Theotokos, / grant unexpected joy to us who are burdened by sins and many sorrows, and deliver us from all evil; / entreating your Son, Christ our God, to save our souls."
Kontakion — Tone 6
We have no other help, we have no other hope, but you, O Sovereign Lady. / Help us, for in you we hope, / and of you we boast, for we are your servants. / Let us not be put to shame.
