Feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos (http://goarch.org/en/special/listen_learn_share/vmnativity/learn/)
Happy Feast Day Everyone! :clap:
Hymns of the Feast :liturgy:
Apolytikion (Fourth Tone)
Your birth, O Theotokos, brought joy to the whole world, for from you dawned the sun of righteousness, Christ our God. Freeing us from the curse, He gave us His blessings. Abolishing death, He granted us eternal life.
Kontakion (Fourth Tone)
In your holy birth, Immaculate One, Joachim and Anna were rid of the shame of childlessness; Adam and Eve of the corruption of death. And so your people, free of the guilt of their sins, celebrate crying: "The barren one gives birth to the Theotokos, who nourishes our life."
