“Reigning” Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
The assembly of Angels serves you reverently, / and all the Powers of Heaven glorify you with unceasing voices, O Virgin Theotokos; / ardently we pray to you, O Sovereign Lady: / “May divine grace be upon your Reigning Icon, / and may the radiant beam of the glory of your miracles flow from it upon all who entreat you with faith, / crying out to God: Alleluia.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
Let us sing songs of victory to the Supreme Commander, for her power has been given to us; / and let us fear nothing, for our salvation is not of this world. / As we defend ourselves by the mercy of the exalted Sovereign Lady, / let us rejoice today, for our defender has come to guard her land.
Kontakion — Tone 8
Chosen from all mankind as Protector of the Christian race, / you shelter our land with the veil of your blessings; / we offer hymns of thanksgiving to you, O Sovereign Lady, / in honor of the appearance of your revered Reigning Icon to us. / As the most merciful Protector of all those who come to you with faith, / deliver us from all our troubles, that we may cry out to you: / “Rejoice, O Reigning Mother of God, Protector of the fervent Christian race.”
