Prayers
Apolytikion: Today thy Most Venerable Icon, O Lady, hath shone in Heaven upon us like a most brilliant sun, enlightening the world with rays of mercy, which great Russia and America received from on high most reverently as a Divine gift, and they Glorify thee, O Mother of God, as the Queen of All, and joyfully magnify Christ our God Who was born of thee. Pray to Christ, O our Lady and Queen, O Theotokos, that He keep all Christians unharmed by all assaults of the enemy, and that He save them that Venerate His Divine Image and thy Pure Icon with faith, O Virgin who knewest not wedlock.
Kontakion: Let us run, O ye peoples, to the Virgin Queen, the Theotokos, thanking Christ our God; and gazing tenderly at her Miraculous Icon, let us fall down and cry to her: O Lady Mary, having visited this land by the wondrous appearance of thy Venerable Icon, keep all Christians in peace and prosperity, and make them heirs of the Heavenly life; for to thee we cry with faith: Rejoice, O Virgin, Salvation of the world.
