Today, O Sovereign Lady, your most honored Icon has shone upon us in the Heavens like a most radiant sun, enlightening the world with rays of mercy, which Russia has received most reverently as a Divine gift from on high; and it glorifies you, O Mother of God, as the Queen of all, and joyfully magnifies Christ our God, Who was born of you. Pray to Him, O Lady Theotokos, that He may preserve all Christian cities and countries unharmed from all the machinations of the Enemy, and that He may save those who with faith bow down before His divine image and your most pure Icon, O Virgin who knew not wedlock.
