Conception of the Most Holy Theotokos by Saint Anna - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Today the bonds of childlessness are loosed, / for having heard Joachim and Anna, / God clearly assures them of the birth of the Mother of God, / from whom He Himself, the Uncircumscribed One, was born, / becoming man when He commanded the Angel to cry out: / “Hail, full of grace, / the Lord is with you.”

Kontakion — Tone 4

(Podoben: “You appeared today...”)
Today, the inhabited earth celebrates Anna's conception, which was from God, / for she gave birth to her who, beyond understanding,1 gave birth to the Word.


1 Canon of Preparation for Holy Communion, Ode VII (after “Glory ... now and ever.”)
