“The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” (Acts 11:26)
THE Akathist hymn
FIRST FOUR FridayS of Great lent
An icon of the Theotokos is placed on a stand in the middle of the solea. The
candles are lit and the church is semi-illumined. The curtain and holy doors are
closed until the priest begins the scheduled stasis of the Akathist Hymn. The
priest wears a blue epitrachelion over his exorasson and starts the Little Compline
in front of the icon.
Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever, and unto
ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
Priest: Glory to thee, our God, glory to thee.
O heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who

art in all places, and fillest all things, Treasury of good
things, and Giver of life, come, and dwell in us, and
cleanse us from every stain; and save our souls,
O good One.
All: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy

on us. (thrice)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy

Spirit; both now and ever; and unto ages of ages. Amen.
All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us

from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God,
visit and heal our infirmities for Thy Name’s sake.
Lord, have mercy. (thrice)

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy

Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who tres-
pass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but de-
liver us from evil.
Priest: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

Psalm 50
Reader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy Great
Mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compas-
sions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly
from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I
know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil be-
fore Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy
words, and prevail when Thou art judged. For behold, I
was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother
bear me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden
and secret things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made man-
ifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and
I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall
be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear
joy and gladness; the bones that be humbled, they shall
rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out
all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away
from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from
me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with
Thy governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach trans-
gressors Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn back un-
to Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God,
Thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in
Thy righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if Thou
hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt
offerings Thou shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto
God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and hum-
bled God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy
good pleasure unto Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem
be built up. Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice
of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offer-
ings. Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

Psalm 69
Reader: O God, be attentive unto helping me; O Lord, make
haste to help me. Let them be shamed and confounded
that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and
brought to shame that desire evils against me. Let them
be turned back straightway in shame that say unto me:
Well done! Well done! Let them be glad and rejoice in
Thee all that seek after Thee, O God, and let them that
love Thy salvation say continually: The Lord be
magnified. But as for me, I am poor and needy; O God,
come unto mine aid. My helper and my deliverer art
Thou, O Lord; make no long tarrying.
Psalm 142
Reader: O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear unto my supplication
in Thy truth; hearken unto me in Thy righteousness.
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, for in
Thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the
enemy my hath persecuted my soul; he hath humbled
my life down to the earth. He hath sat me in darkness
as those that have been long dead, and my spirit within
me is become despondent; within me my heart is
troubled. I remembered days of old, I meditated on all
Thy works, I pondered on the creations of Thy hands. I
stretched forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth
after Thee like a waterless land. Quickly hear me, O
Lord; my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not Thy face
away from me, lest I be like unto them that go down
into the pit. Cause me to hear Thy mercy in the
morning; for in Thee have I put my hope. Cause me to
know, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for unto
Thee have I lifted up my soul. Rescue me from mine
enemies, O Lord; unto Thee have I fled for refuge.

Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God. Thy
good Spirit shall lead me in the land of uprightness; for
Thy Name’s sake, O Lord, shalt Thou quicken me. In
Thy righteousness shalt Thou bring my soul out of
affliction, and in Thy mercy shalt Thou utterly destroy
mine enemies. And Thou shalt cut off all them that
afflict my soul, for I am Thy servant.
The Little Doxology — Plain Reading
Reader: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will among men.
We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee, we
glorify Thee; we give thanks unto Thee for Thy great
glory.
O Lord, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty; O
Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ; and the
Holy Spirit.
O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Who
takest away the sin of the world, have mercy on us;
O Thou Who takest away the sins of the world.
Receive our prayer, O Thou who sittest at the right
hand of the Father, and have mercy on us.
For Thou only art holy, Thou only art the Lord, O Jesus
Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise Thy Name
forever; yea, forever and ever.
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge in all generations. I
said: Be merciful unto me; heal my soul, for I have
sinned against Thee.

O continue Thy loving-kindness unto them that know
Thee.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this night without sin.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, and
praised and glorified be Thy Name forever. Amen.
Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we do put our

Blessed art Thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
Blessed art Thou, O Master: make me to understand

Blessed art Thou, O Holy One: enlighten me with Thy

The Creed
All: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of

heaven and earth, and of all things visible and
invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the

only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all
worlds. Light of light, very God of very God, begotten,
not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all
things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation,
came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy
Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; and was
crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered
and was buried; and the third day He rose again,
according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of the Father; and He shall
come again with glory to judge the living and the dead,
Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of

Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the
Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified,
Who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic

Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission
of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the
life of the world to come. Amen.

Theotokion — Plain Reading
Reader: It is truly meet to bless thee, O Theotokos, who art
ever-blessed and all-blameless, and the Mother of our
God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more
glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim. Thou
who without corruption didst bear God the Word, and
art truly Theotokos: we magnify thee.
The Canon of the Akathist — Tone Four
ODE ONE
I shall open my mouth and it will be filled with the Spirit, and I
shall speak forth to the Queen and Mother. I shall be seen joyful-
ly singing her praises, and I shall delight to sing of her wonders.
Most-holy Theotokos, save us!

When the great Archangel saw thee, O immaculate one, thou liv-
ing book of Christ, sealed by the Spirit, he cried unto thee: Hail,
vessel of gladness, through whom the curse of our first-mother is
loosed.
Hail, virgin bride of God, thou uplifter of Adam and death-knell
of Hades; Hail, O all-blameless one, thou palace of the only
King; Hail, thou fiery throne of the Almighty.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Hail, thou from whom alone didst blossom the Unwithering
Rose; Hail, thou who didst bear the fragrant Apple; Hail, immac-
ulate maiden, fragrance of the King of All and salvation of the
world.

ODE THREE
As a living and copious fountain, O Theotokos, do thou strength-
en those who hymn thy praises, and are joined together in a spir-
itual company for thy service; and in thy divine glory make them
worthy of crowns of glory.

As a clear and untilled field, thou didst make the Divine Ear of
Grain to sprout; Hail, thou living table that held the Bread of
Life; Hail, thou unfailing fountain of Living Water.

Hail, O mystic heifer that didst bear the Spotless Calf; Hail, ewe-
lamb who didst conceive the Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the whole world; Hail, thou fervent intercessor.
Hail, O radiant dawn, which alone dost bear Christ the Sun, the
dwelling-place of Light; Hail, thou who didst dispel the darkness
and reduce to naught the demons of gloom.

Hail, thou only gate, through which the Word alone didst pass;
Hail, Lady, for by thy birth-giving the bars and gates of Hades
were burst asunder; Hail, thou most worthy of all praise, divine
entry for the saved.

ODE FOUR
He Who sits in clouds of glory upon the throne of the Godhead,
Jesus the Most High God, came with mighty hand and saved
those who cried out unto Him: Glory to Thy Power, O Christ!
In hymns of faith, O all-praised one, we cry out unto thee: Hail,
thou mountain fertile with the fullness of the Spirit; Hail, thou
lamp of light and vase of manna, to the senses of the reverent
most sweet.
Hail, immaculate Lady, mercy-seat of the world; Hail, thou lad-
der which raised all from earth to grace; Hail, thou bridge which
truly leads from death to life all who sing thy praises.
Hail, O immaculate one, higher than the heavens, thou who didst
without pain carry within thee the Foundation of the Earth. Hail,
O seashell that didst dip in thy blood the divine purple for the
King of the Powers of Heaven.
Hail, Lady, who didst truly bear the Lawgiver that freely blotted
out the transgressions of all; O unimaginable depth, O height in-
effable, O maiden unwedded, through whom we are become di-
vine.
With hymns we praise thee, O thou who didst weave for the
world a crown not woven by hands, and we cry aloud: Hail to
thee, O Virgin, do we cry: fortress of all mankind, and rampart,
and strength, and refuge divine.

ODE FIVE
All creation was amazed at thy divine glory, for thou, O unwed-
ded Virgin, didst hold within thee the God of All, and didst bear
the Eternal Son, Who rewards with salvation all who hymn thy
praises.

Hail, O all-blameless one, who didst bear the Way of Life and
save the world from the deluge of sin; Hail, bride of God, thou of
great report and mighty fame; Hail, thou dwelling-place of the
Master of Creation.

Hail, O immaculate one, stronghold and fortress of mankind, and
place of hallowed glory, death-knell of Hades, bridal-chamber
full of light; Hail, joy of the angels; Hail, help of those who faith-
fully pray unto thee.

Hail, O Lady, fiery chariot of the Word; living paradise having
the Lord, the Tree of Life, in thy midst; His sweetness gives life
to those who partake in faith, even though they be subject to cor-
ruption.
Strengthened by thy might, faithfully we cry unto thee: Hail, city
of the King of All, great in glory and repute, of whom all these
were clearly spoken; O mount unhewn and depth beyond all
measure.

ODE SIX
As we, the Godly-minded, celebrate this sacred and all-honorable
feast of the Mother of God; come, let us clap our hands together
and glorify the God Whom she bore.

Immaculate bridal-chamber of the Word, and aid to the sanctifi-
cation of us all, Hail! O all-pure maiden, whom the Prophets did
proclaim; Hail, thou ornament of the Apostles!

From thee the dew distilled that quenched the flame of polythe-
ism; wherefore, we cry out unto thee, O Virgin: Hail, O dewy
fleece which Gideon did foresee.
Behold, we cry out unto thee: Hail! Be thou our haven and our
port when we voyage on the sea of tribulations and through the
snares of the adversary.

O cause of joy, favor us with reason to cry out unto thee: Hail,
thou bush that burns yet unconsumed, thou light-filled cloud
which unceasingly shelters the faithful.

The Godly-minded children worshiped not the creature rather than
the Creator, but trampling upon the threat of fire in manly fashion,
they rejoiced and sang: O All-Praised Lord and God of our Fa-
thers, blessed art Thou.
To thee we sing a hymn and cry: Hail! Chariot of the mystic sun,
true vine that did produce the ripe cluster of grapes, dripping wine
to gladden the souls of those who with faith do glorify thee.
Hail, thou Bride of God, who didst bear the Healer of Mankind;
the mystic staff from which blossomed the Unfading Flower; Hail,
O sovereign Lady, through whom we are filled with joy, and made
inheritors of life.
The tongue of eloquence has not power to sing thy praises, O sov-
ereign Lady, for thou wast exalted above the Seraphim when thou
didst bear Christ the King; do thou now implore Him to deliver
from all harm those who faithfully reverence thee.
The ends of the earth do praise and bless thee, and cry out unto
thee: Hail, pure Maiden, scroll on which the finger of God did in-
scribe His Word; do thou now implore Him, O Theotokos, to write
down thy servants in the Book of Life.
We thy servants bend the knee of our hearts and implore thee, O
pure Maiden: incline thine ear and save us, who are engulfed in
tribulations; and guard thy city, O Theotokos, from every assault
of her enemies.

ODE EIGHT
The three holy children in the furnace the Child of the Theotokos
saved; then was the type, now is its fulfillment, and the whole
world gathers to sing: All ye works, praise the Lord, and magnify
Him unto all ages.
Thou didst receive the Word within thee, O pure Maiden, and
didst bear Him Who beareth all things; thou didst nourish Him
with milk, Who by His nod dost sustain all the universe; to Him
we sing: All ye works, praise the Lord, and magnify Him unto all
ages.
Moses perceived in the burning bush the great mystery of thy
birth-giving, O chaste and holy Virgin; the children prefigured this
most clearly when they stood in the midst of the flame and were
unburned; wherefore, we praise thee unto all ages.
We, who of old were made naked by deceit, have been clothed in
a garment of incorruption by thy conception; and we who were
sitting in the darkness of transgressions have come to see the light,
O Maiden who art the dwelling-place of Light: wherefore, we
praise thee unto all ages.
Through thee the dead are made to live, for thou didst bear the
Life Essential; those who before were speechless now find useful
eloquence, lepers are cleansed, diseases are driven away, and the
multitude of aerial spirits are vanquished, O Virgin, salvation of
mortals.

We hail thee, O all-blessed one, who didst bring forth salvation
for the world, through which we have been raised from earth to
heights above; O pure Maiden, thou art shelter and stronghold,
bulwark and fortress of all who sing: All ye works, praise the
Lord, and magnify Him unto all ages.
ODE NINE
Let all earth-born mortals rejoice in spirit, bearing their lamps,
and let the nature of bodiless minds celebrate with honor the holy
festival of the Mother of God, and cry out: Hail, all-blessed, pure
and ever-virgin Theotokos!
Through thee, O Maiden, have we faithful become partakers of
joy, so that we may further cry out unto thee: Hail! Do thou de-
liver us from perpetual temptation, from barbaric attack, and
from all the multitude of evils which we mortals suffer for the
number of our sins.
Thou hast appeared to enlighten us and be our confirmation,
wherefore we cry aloud to thee: Hail, O unsetting star which
didst introduce into the world the mighty Sun; Hail, pure maiden,
who didst open up fast-closed Eden; Hail, fiery pillar, which doth
lead man’s nature to the life above.
Let us stand with reverence in the house of our God, and let us
cry aloud: Hail, mistress of the world; Hail, Mary, Lady of us all;
Hail, thou who alone art blameless among women, and beautiful;
Hail, O Vessel, which didst receive into thyself the myrrh which
was never before outpoured.

Hail, O Ever-virgin, thou dove who didst bring forth Him Who is
merciful. Hail, boast of all the righteous saints and crown of
those who strive. Hail, ornament divine of all the just, and of us
the faithful, our salvation as well.

Spare, O God, Thine inheritance, and overlook now all our sins.
For as intercessor in Thy sight, O Christ, there stands before Thee
she that on earth conceived Thee without seed, when in Thy
Great Mercy Thou hast willed to be shaped in a form that was not
Thine own.
The holy doors are now opened. As the following kontakion is sung by the choir,
the priest dons his phelonion, exits through the holy doors and comes to stand be-
fore the icon of the Theotokos in the center of the solea. The censer is kept near at
hand.
Kontakion for the Akathist Hymn — Tone Eight

Choir: To thee, the Champion Leader, do I offer thanks of vic-
tory, O Theotokos, thou who hast delivered me from
terror; but as thou that hast that power invincible, O
Theotokos, thou alone can set me free: from all forms
of danger free me and deliver me, that I may cry unto
thee: Hail, O Bride without bridegroom.
When the Choir has concluded the Kontakion, the Priest begins the Stasis of the Akathist Hymn
designated for that evening. As originally written, the 24 oikoi of the Hymn are arranged as an
acrostic according to the Greek alphabet.

First Stasis — First Friday of Great Lent
1. OIKOS
Priest: An angel chieftain was sent from heaven to say to the
Theotokos: Hail! (thrice)
Each time the choir responds: “Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”
And beholding Thee, O Lord, taking bodily form, he

stood rapt in wonder, and with his bodiless voice cried
aloud to her in this wise:
+ Hail, thou through whom joy shall shine forth;
Hail, thou through whom the curse shall be destroyed.
+ Hail, restoration of fallen Adam; Hail, redemption of
the tears of Eve.
+ Hail, height hard to climb for human minds; Hail,
depth hard to scan even for angels’ eyes.
+ Hail, for thou art a kingly throne; Hail, for thou holdest
the Upholder of all.
+ Hail, star that causes the Sun to appear; Hail, womb of
the divine incarnation.
+ Hail, thou through whom creation is renewed; Hail,
thou through whom the Creator becomes a babe.
+ Hail, O Bride without bridegroom!
The priest censes the icon nine times.
Choir: Hail, O Bride without bridegroom!

2. OIKOS
Priest: Boldly spake the holy maiden unto Gabriel, conscious
of her chastity: To my soul thy strange message seems
hard to grasp; how speakest thou of a virgin concep-
tion, crying aloud: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
3. OIKOS
Priest: Craving to know knowledge unknowable, the Virgin
cried out unto him who ministered unto her: From a
maiden body, how may a Son be born; tell thou me! To
her he spake in fear, and thus only cried aloud:
+ Hail, thou initiate of the ineffable counsel; Hail, O faith
of those who pray in silence.
+ Hail, thou beginning of the miracles of Christ; Hail,
thou crown of His decrees.
+ Hail, heavenly ladder by which God came down; Hail,
bridge that leadest us from earth to heaven.
+ Hail, thou much-talked of wonder of angels; Hail, thou
much-lamented damager of demons.
+ Hail, thou who ineffably didst bear the Light; Hail,
thou who told none how it was done.
+ Hail, thou who surpassest the knowledge of the wise;
Hail thou who enlightenest the minds of the faithful.

4. OIKOS
Priest: Divine power from on high then overshadowed the
maiden, that she might conceive, and showed forth her
fruitful womb as a fertile field to all who desire to reap
salvation, as they sing: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
5. OIKOS
Priest: Enshrining God in her womb, the Virgin hastened unto
Elizabeth; whose unborn babe at once perceived her
Salutation, and rejoiced; and with stirrings as if with
voices cried out to the Theotokos:
+ Hail, branch of unfading growth; Hail, possessor of un
touched fruit.
+ Hail, thou who laborest for the Laborer Who lovest
mankind. Hail, thou who tendest Him Who tendeth our
life.
+ Hail, field with compassions harvest rich; Hail, table
with abundance of mercies spread.
+ Hail, thou who revives the green meadows of joy; Hail,
thou who makest ready a safe haven for souls.
+ Hail, thou accepted incense offering of intercessions;
Hail, thou oblation of all the world.
+ Hail, goodwill of God towards men; Hail, access of
mortals to God.

6. OIKOS
Priest: Floods of doubtful thoughts troubled the wise Joseph
within, and he feared a furtive love as he beheld thee
unwed, O Blameless One; but when he learned that thy
conception was of the Holy Spirit, he said: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
This concludes the first stasis. Go to Page 29 and sing the Kontakion “To Thee,
the Champion Leader.”
Second Stasis — Second Friday of Great Lent

7. OIKOS
Priest: Gloriously the Angels hymned the incarnate Presence
of Christ, and the shepherds heard; and running as to a
Shepherd, they beheld Him as an unspotted Lamb,
being nurtured at Mary’s breast, and her they hymned
and said:
+ Hail, Mother of the Lamb and of the Shepherd; Hail,
fold of reason-endowed sheep.
+ Hail, bulwark against foes invisible; Hail, opener of the
Gates of Paradise.
+ Hail, for that which all the Heavens and earth Hail;
Hail, for all the earth doth dance its joy together with
the Heavens.
+ Hail, never-silent voice of the Apostles; Hail,
invincible courage of the those who strive.
+ Hail, thou firm foundation of the faith; Hail, thou shin-
ing token of grace.
+ Hail, thou through whom Hades was laid bare; Hail,
thou through whom we are clothed with glory.

8. OIKOS
Priest: High in the heavens the Magi beheld the Godward-
pointing star, and they followed its rays; using it as a
beacon, they sought the mighty King, and as they ap-
proached the Unapproachable, they rejoiced and cried
out unto Him: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
9. OIKOS
Priest: In the Virgin’s hand the sons of the Chaldees saw Him
Whose hand had made man; and knowing Him as
Master, even though He had taken on Himself the form
of a servant, they hastened with their gifts to worship,
and cried out to her who is blessed:
+ Hail, mother of the unsetting Star; Hail, dawn of the
mystic Day.
+ Hail, thou who quenchest the fiery furnace of error;
Hail, thou who enlightenest the initiates of the Trinity.
+ Hail, thou who cast out the inhuman tyrant of old; Hail,
thou who showest forth Christ the Lord Who loveth
mankind.
+ Hail, thou who redeemest from barbarous supersti-
tions; Hail, thou who rescuest us from works unclean.
+ Hail, thou who causest the worship of fire to cease;
Hail, thou who allayest the flame of suffering.
+ Hail, guide of the wisdom of the faithful; Hail, joy of
all generations.

10. OIKOS
Priest: King’s messengers did the Magi become, when they
returned to Babylon; they fulfilled Thy bidding and
preached Thee to all as the Christ, and they left Herod
as a trifler who knew not how to sing: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
11. OIKOS
Priest: Lighting in Egypt the lamp of truth, Thou didst cast out
the darkness of untruth; for their idols, O Savior, could
not bear Thy strength, and fell down; and those of them
who were set free cried out to the Theotokos:
+ Hail, thou uplifter of mankind; Hail, thou downfall of
demons.
+ Hail, thou who tramplest upon the wanderings of
error; Hail, thou refutes the frauds of idols.
+ Hail, sea which drowned the invisible Pharaoh; Hail,
rock which refreshed those athirst for Life.
+ Hail, fiery pillar guiding those in darkness; Hail,
shelter of the world broader than a cloud.
+ Hail, thou sustenance in place of manna; Hail, minister
of holy joy.
+ Hail, thou land of promise; Hail, thou from whom flow
honey and milk.

12. OIKOS
Priest: Most near his transit from this deceitful world was
Simeon when Thou wast presented to him as a new-
born babe, but Thou wast discerned by him as perfect
God; wherefore overcome by Thine ineffable wisdom
he cried out: Alleluia!

13. OIKOS
Priest: New was the creation which the Creator showed to us
His creatures, when He appeared blossoming from a
virgin womb; and He preserved her just as she was, in
purity, so that we, beholding this marvel, might cry
aloud and sing:
+ Hail, flower of incorruption; Hail, crown of chastity.
+ Hail, thou who flashest out the type of the Resurrec-
tion; Hail, thou who mirrorest the life of the Angels.
+ Hail, tree of goodly fruit, from which the faithful are
nourished; Hail, goodly shade-tree, beneath which
many are sheltered.
+ Hail, thou who bearest the Guide of those who stray
abroad Hail, thou who givest birth to the Redeemer of
captives.
+ Hail, thou intercessor before the Righteous Judge;
Hail, forgiveness for many who stumble.
+ Hail, robe of the naked of liberty; Hail, selfless love
that vanquishest all mean desires.

14. OIKOS
Priest: Our minds are brought over into heaven when we be-
hold this strange birth-giving, so let us be estranged
from the world; for this cause indeed did the Most High
God appear on earth as humble man, that He might
raise on high those who cry out unto Him: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
15. OIKOS
Priest: Present and complete with those below, and in no wise
absent from those above was the Uncircumscribed
Word; for there took place indeed a divine Descent and
not a simple change of place; and the Birth was from a
God-chosen Virgin, who heard such words as these:
+ Hail, resting-place of the uncontained God; Hail, door
of hallowed Mystery.
+ Hail, doubtful rumor of the faithless; Hail, undoubted
boast of the faithful.
+ Hail, all-holy chariot of Him Who rideth upon the
Cherubim; Hail, all-excellent chair of Him Who sitteth
upon the Seraphim.
+ Hail, thou who makest things that differ to agree; Hail,
thou who joinest together virginity and motherhood.
+ Hail, thou whom through transgression is annulled;
Hail, thou whom through Paradise was opened.

+ Hail, vessel of the Wisdom of God; Hail, treasury of
His foreknowledge.
+ Hail, thou who showest the learned to be fools; Hail,
thou who provest logicians illogical.
+ Hail, for the subtle disputants are made fools; Hail, for
the makers of myths are made to fade away.
+ Hail, thou who didst disperse the word-webs of the
Athenians; Hail, thou who didst fill the nets of the fish-
ermen.

rance; Hail, thou who enlightenest many with
knowledge.

+ Hail, thou who didst annul the corruption of hearts;
Hail, thou who didst bear the Sower of chastity.
+ Hail, bridal chamber of a virgin marriage; Hail, thou
who didst join the faithful to the Lord.
+ Hail, fair nursing-mother of virgins; Hail, bridesmaid
of holy souls.
20. OIKOS
Priest: Unworthy is every hymn that seeks to encompass the
multitude of Thy many mercies; for if we should offer
to Thee hymns of praise as numberless as the sands, O
Holy King, we should still have done nothing worthy
of that which Thou hast given to us who cry out unto
Thee: Alleluia!
Choir: Alleluia!
21. OIKOS
Priest: Verily we behold the holy Virgin as a light-giving beacon,
shining for those in darkness: for by kindling the supernal
Light, she guides us all to divine knowledge; illumining
our minds with radiance, she is honored by this our cry:
+ Hail, ray of the living Sun; Hail, flash of unfading
splendor.
+ Hail, lightning-flash, shining upon our souls; Hail, thou
who dost as thunder strike down our enemies.
+ Hail, for thou didst cause the many-starred light to
dawn; Hail, for thou didst cause the richly-flowing riv-
er to gush forth.

Priest: When He Who pays the ancient debts of all men was

and when He tore asunder the written charge against
them, He heard from all in this wise: Alleluia!

Priest: Yet while we sing to Him Whom thou didst bear, we all
hymn thee, O Theotokos, as a living temple; for the
Lord, Who holds all things in His hand, by dwelling
within thee, hallowed and glorified thee, and taught all
to cry out unto thee:
+ Hail, tabernacle of God, and of the Word; Hail, holiest
of all the holy ones.

All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us
from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God,
visit and heal our infirmities for thy Name’s sake.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who tres-
pass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but de-
liver us from evil.
Priest: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory:
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.

verse doth offer the God-bearing Martyrs as the first-
fruits of nature. By whose prayers, through the Theoto-
kos, do thou preserve in peace profound thy Church, O
most merciful one.
If we sing this service on the night of March 23, we read the kontakion of the
Forefeast of the Annunciation:
KONTAKION OF THE FOREFEAST OF
THE ANNUNCIATION (plain reading)
At the great Archangel’s voice, O Theotokos, the All-holy Spirit
came upon thee; and thou didst conceive Him that is one in es-
sence and throne with God the Father, O Adam’s recovery.
Reader: Lord, have mercy. (forty times)
Reader: O Christ our God, who at all times and in every hour,
in heaven and on earth, art worshipped and glorified;
who art long-suffering, merciful and compassionate;
who lovest the just and showest mercy upon the sinner;
who callest all to salvation through the promise of
blessings to come; O Lord, in this hour receive our

commandments. Sanctify our souls, hallow our bodies,
correct our thoughts, cleanse our minds; deliver us
from all tribulation, evil and distress. Encompass us
with thy holy Angels, that guided and guarded by
them, we may attain to the unity of the faith and to the
knowledge of thine unapproachable glory, for thou art
blessed unto ages of ages. Amen.

More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious
beyond compare than the Seraphim. Thou who without

Prayer of Paul the Cenobite to the Theotokos
This prayer can be read by the priest or reader in front of the icon of the Theoto-
kos on the iconostasis.
Reader: O Lady, Bride of God, spotless, blameless, pure and

immaculate Virgin, thou who without corruption, by
thy glorious birth-giving, has united God the Word to
man and joined the fallen nature of our race to
heavenly things; who alone art the hope of the
hopeless, the help of those who do battle; the ready
help of those who flee unto thee and the refuge of all
Christians: Despise me not, an accursed sinner, though
I have rendered myself unworthy by my shameful
thoughts, words and deeds, and through indolence have
become a slave to the pleasures of life; but as the
Mother of God, who lovest mankind, mercifully have
compassion upon me, a sinner and a prodigal, and
receive my prayer, though it be offered unto thee by
unworthy lips; and using thy boldness as a mother,
importune thy Son, our Lord and Master, that he may
open to me also the tender compassions of his
goodness so as to overlook my numberless
transgressions and turn me to repentance and show me
forth as a zealous doer of his commandments. And
because thou art merciful, compassionate and

benevolent, be thou ever near me in this present life as
an ardent help and protection, defending me from the
assaults of adversaries and leading me to salvation.
And at the time of my departure from this life, care for
my miserable soul, and drive far from it the dark
visions of evil demons; and in the fearful day of
judgment, deliver me from eternal punishment, and
present me as an inheritor of the ineffable glory of thy
Son, our God. May this be my lot, O Lady, most holy
Theotokos, through thy mediation and help, through
the grace and love toward mankind of thine
only-begotten Son, our Lord, and God, and Saviour,
Jesus Christ, to whom are due all glory, honor and
worship, with his unoriginate Father, and his all-Holy,
and good, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and
unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer of the Monk Antiochus to Christ

This prayer can be read by the priest or reader in front of the icon of Christ on the
iconostasis.
Reader: And grant unto us, O Master, when we depart to sleep,

repose of body and soul; and protect us from the murky
sleep of sin and from all the dark pleasures of the
night. Calm the impulses of passions, and quench the
fiery darts of evil which are craftily thrown against us;
check the turbulence of our flesh, and still all earthly
and material thoughts. And grant us, O God, a prudent
reason, a vigilant heart, a tranquil sleep free from all
the fantasies of Satan. Raise us up again at the time of
prayer strengthened in thy commandments, holding
steadfastly within us the remembrance of thy
judgments. Grant us grace to glorify thee all through
the night that we may praise, and bless, and glorify

The first reader then says:
Reader: O most glorious, ever-virgin and blessed Theotokos,

present our prayer to thy Son our God, and intercede
with him that through thee he may save our souls.
The second reader then says:
Reader: The Father is my Hope; the Son is my Refuge; the
Holy Spirit is my Protection. O Holy Trinity: Glory to
Thee.
The first reader then says:
Reader: In thee, O Mother of God, I place all my hope; keep
me under thy protection.
In the first week, during the above slumber prayers, the Priest enters the sanctuary through the
south door to prepare to read the Gospel lection, after which he immediately reads the dismissal
prayers. In the first week, he does not read the “Prayer to the Guardian Angel.”
The Compline Gospel — First Friday of Lent
The holy doors are now opened for the reading of the Gospel.
Priest: And we may be accounted worthy to hear the Holy

Gospel, let us pray to the Lord our God.
Priest: Wisdom. Stand upright. Let us hear the Holy Gospel.
Priest: Peace be to all.
Choir: And to thy spirit.
Priest: The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to
Saint John (15:1-7).
Choir: Glory to thee, O Lord, glory to thee.

Priest: Let us attend!
The priest reads the Gospel from the holy doors.
Priest: The Lord said: “I am the true vine, and my Father is
the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear
fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit
he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already
clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can
you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the
branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, bears
much fruit; for without me you can do nothing. If
anyone does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch
and is withered; and they gather them and throw them
into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in me,
and my words abide in you, you will ask what you
desire, and it shall be done for you.”
Choir: Glory to thee, O Lord, glory to thee.
The holy doors are closed.
The “Prayer to Our Guardian Angel” may be read when no gospel lection is read.
Prayer to our Guardian Angel
Priest: O holy Angel who accompanieth my wretched soul and
lowly life, forsake me not, and depart not from me
because of my extravagance and wickedness. Give not
access to the evil demon to rule with his might this
mortal body of mine, but hold me by my wretched,
feeble hand; lead me in the path of salvation. Yea,
O holy Angel of God, guardian and protector of my
wretched soul and body, forgive me all wherewith I
have heretofore saddened thee all the days of my life.
And though this day I have sinned, be thou my shelter
this night. Keep me from all the wiles of the enemy,
that I may not anger God with any sin. Intercede with

Choir: Amen.
The Dismissal
Standing on the solea, facing the icon of Christ on the iconostasis, the priest says:
Priest: Glory to thee, O Christ our God and our hope, glory to
thee.
Choir: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
Father, bless.
Facing the congregation, the priest says:
Priest: May Christ our true God, through the intercessions of
His all-immaculate and all-blameless holy Mother; at
the supplication of the holy, glorious and right-
victorious martyrs; of our venerable and God-bearing
Fathers; of Saint. N., the patron and protector of this
holy community; of the holy and righteous ancestors
of God, Joachim and Anna; (in the first week: of the
holy, glorious and right-victorious Great-martyr Theo-
dore the Soldier); and of all the saints: have mercy on
us and save us, forasmuch as He is good and loveth
mankind.
Choir: Amen.
Standing before the holy doors, facing east, the priest makes three metanioas,
saying each time:
Priest: O God, be gracious unto me, a sinner, and have mercy

on me. (thrice)
The priest turns west and bows to the people, saying:

THEOTOKION IN TONE THREE
Choir: Awed by the beauty of thy virginity and the exceeding radi-
ance of thy purity, Gabriel stood amazed and cried to thee, O
Mother of God: What praise may I offer thee, that is worthy of
thy beauty? By what name shall I call thee? I am lost and be-
wildered. But I shall greet thee, as I was commanded: Hail!
Thou that art full of grace.
Priest: Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ
our God, have mercy upon us and save us.
Choir: Amen.
