Troparion — Tone 4
Today the most glorious city of Moscow rejoices resplendently, / perceiving your wonderworking Icon as the radiance of the sun, O Sovereign Lady. / Now, having come to it, we pray to you and cry: “O most wondrous Lady Theotokos, / pray to Christ our God, Who was incarnate of you, / that He may deliver this city and all Christian cities and countries, preserving them unharmed from every intrigue of the enemy, / and that He may save our souls, for He is merciful.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
O victorious Leader of triumphant hosts, / to you we sing a song of victory, / for you have delivered us from troubles by the arrival of your revered Icon, O Sovereign Lady Theotokos, / and joyously we celebrate the festival of your meeting, / and, as is customary, we cry to you: “Hail, Unwedded Bride.”
