Nativity of the Theotokos, Sept. 8th
“Today the barren Anna
Gives birth to the holy handmaiden of God
Who was chosen from all generations
For the fulfillment of the divine plan
To become the abode of the King
The creator of all, Christ our God
Therefore we mortals are restored
From
corruption to eternal life.”
(Stikhera
on ‘Lord I call’, Great Vespers)
Exaltation of the Life-Creating Cross, Sept. 14th
“O Lord Save Thy People
And Bless Thine inheritance
Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians
Over their adversaries
And by virtue of Thy cross
Preserve Thy habitation”
(Troparion of the Exaltation of the Cross)
