Verily, the fervid tears of Mary were not

shed in vain; for behold she was
worthy to learn from the Angels, and
to look at Thy Face, O Jesus. But
since she was a weak
human
being, she still thought of earthly
things.
Therefore,
she
was
prevented from touching Thee, O
Christ. However she was sent to
proclaim to Thy Disciples, and to tell
them the Glad Tidings and of the
Ascension to the Heavenly Heritage.

for Thou, O Virgin, Who hast not

hast
been
Translated from earth to the Eternal
Mansions to the Life without end,
bestowing Salvation upon all who
sing Thy praises.

As we celebrate this sacred and

solemn Feast of the Theotokos, let
us come, clapping our hands, O
people of the Lord, and give glory to
God Who was Born of her.

7 The Holy Children bravely

trampled upon the threatening fire,
preferring not to worship created
things rather than the Creator, and
they sang in Joy: Blessed art Thou
and praised above all: O Lord God of
our Fathers!
8 We Praise, we Bless and we
Worship the Lord!

The

Offspring of the Theotokos saved

the Holy Children in the furnace. He
Who was then prefigured has since
been born on earth, and He gathers
together all Creation to sing: O ye
