🔈
Listen here
(Tone 1)

After the stone was sealed by the Jews and the while the soldiers were watching Your spotless body, You rose, O Savior, on the third day, giving life to the world. Wherefore, the heavenly powers cried out to you, O Giver of life: “Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ! Glory to Your kingdom! Glory to Your economy, O You who alone are the lover of mankind!

Troparion of the Protection
(Tone 1)

We praise your great protection, O Virgin, which you spread forth like a radiant, transcendent cloud. Invisibly you guard your people from every foe’s attack. Since you are to us a shelter and a sure defense, we cry to you with our whole heart: Glory to your great deeds, O Lady! Glory to your divine shelter! Glory to your care and providence, O most pure Virgin!

Kondakion of the Protection
(Tone 8)

Let us faithful hasten now to the Theotokos; let us venerate her sacred veil as we sing fitting hymns of praise: for she shelters all her faithful and preserves them from danger, so that they may cry out to her: Hail, O Virgin, our most radiant Protection!
