After the first chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Thou hast appeared today…”—
The whole world is all-adorned by the immaterial Spirit in thy glorious memory, and it crieth out to thee noetically with gladness: Rejoice, O Virgin, thou boast of the Christians!
At “God is the Lord…”, the troparion of the feast, twice; Glory…, that of the martyrs; Now & ever…, that of the feast, once.
After the second chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone VI: Spec. Mel.: “The portal of loving-kindness…”—
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
Praising thy repose, O pure one, all of us, the faithful, hymn thee; for thou hast been translated from the earth, from life unto life, and in the heavens thou prayest to God, that the human race be delivered from misfortunes.
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
