Troparia
Dormition of the All‑holy Mother of God, Troparion, in Tone I —
In giving birth thou didst preserve thy virginity,/ and in thy falling
asleep thou hast not forsaken the world, O Theotokos./ Thou hast been,
translated to life, as thou art the Mother of Life.// And by thy
supplications thou dost deliver our souls from death.
Kontakion of the feast, in Tone II —
The tomb and mortality could not hold the Theotokos,/ who is untiring in her
supplications/ and our certain hope in her intercessions./ For, as the
Mother of Life, she hath passed over to the Life// Who dwelt within her
ever-virgin womb.
