Кондак Богородице
The Victorious Defender
The faithful offer hymns of thanksgiving to the Mother of God for her protection against evil.
To you, our chosen Commander, we your servants offer songs of victory and thanksgiving, O Mother of God, because we have been delivered from evil. But since your power is invincible, free us from every danger, so that we may cry out to you: Rejoice, O Bride unwedded!
A Plea for Intercession
The believer entrusts their soul to the Mother of God, seeking her mercy and intercession before her Son.
Most glorious ever-virgin, Mother of Christ our God, bring our prayer to your Son and our God, so that through you he may save our souls. I place all my hope in you, Mother of God; keep me under your protection. Virgin Mother of God, do not turn away from me, a sinner in need of your help and protection, for my soul puts its hope in you; have mercy on me.

Взбра́нной Воево́де победи́тельная, я́ко изба́вльшеся от злых, благода́рственная воспису́ем Ти раби́ Твои́, Богоро́дице, но я́ко иму́щая держа́ву непобеди́мую, от вся́ких нас бед свободи́, да зове́м Ти,; ра́дуйся, Неве́сто Неневе́стная.
Пресла́вная Присноде́во, Ма́ти Христа́ Бо́га, принеси́ на́шу моли́тву Сы́ну Твоему́ и Бо́гу на́шему, да спасе́т Тобо́ю ду́ши на́ша.
Все упова́ние мое́ на Тя возлага́ю, Ма́ти Бо́жия, сохрани́ мя под кро́вом Твои́м.
Богоро́дице Де́во, не пре́зри мене́, гре́шнаго, тре́бующа Твоея́ по́мощи и Твоего́ заступле́ния, на Тя бо упова́ душа́ моя́, и пом́илуй мя.
