The Nativity of our Most Holy Lady the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Your Nativity, O Virgin, / has proclaimed joy to the whole universe! / The Sun of Righteousness,1 Christ our God, / has shone from you, O Theotokos! / By annulling the curse, / He bestowed a blessing. / By destroying death, He has granted us eternal Life.


1 Malachai 4:2

Kontakion — Tone 4

(Original Melody)
By your Nativity, O Most Pure Virgin, / Joachim and Anna are freed from barrenness; / Adam and Eve, from the corruption of death. / And we, your people, freed from the guilt of sin, celebrate and sing to you: / “The barren woman gives birth to the Theotokos, the nourisher of our life.”
