Πηγὴ εὐφροσύνης οὐρανίου, ἡ Σκέπη σου ἡ φωτοειδής, ὑπάρχει Παναμώμητε, τοῖς θλίψεσι παλαίουσι, χάριν ἀεὶ καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ σωτηρίαν βραβεύουσα.
Your veil of protection is resplendent, * all-blameless one, and it is a source * of heavenly euphoria. * It always is bestowing grace * and mercy and salvation on those who contend with adversities. [GOASD]
Μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν Θεὸν ὄψονται.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. [RSV]
Ἀρχῆθεν ἡμᾶς διʼ εὐσπλαγχνίαν, ὡς Ἔθνος Παρθένε ἐκλεκτόν, ἔθου ὑπὸ τὴν Σκέπην σου, καὶ ξένα καὶ παράδοξα, πάλαι καὶ νῦν ἐνήργησας, ἡμᾶς κινδύνων ἐξαίρουσα.
From time immemorial, O Virgin, * with charity you have placed beneath * the dome of your protective veil * all Christian peoples everywhere. * And as of old, you still perform marvelous wonders, protecting us. [GOASD]

When St. Epiphanius with rev’rence * gave heed to devout St. Andrew’s words, * O Virgin, he began to see * how you the Queen of heaven were * protecting all the Christians there beneath your holy protective veil. [GOASD]

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely [for my sake]. [RSV]
Ὁλόφωτος ἀληθῶς, ἐπέστης Παντοβασίλισσα, καὶ ἥπλωσας θαυμαστῶς, τὴν ἄχραντον Σκέπην σου, σκέπουσα τοὺς δούλους σου· ὅθεν ἀνυμνοῦμεν, τὴν πολλὴν σου ἀγαθότητα.
You came to us, Queen of all, * and you appeared truly luminous; * and wondrously you spread out * your most pure protective veil, * and thus you protected us. * We your servants praise you * for your generous benevolence. [GOASD]
Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. [RSV]

You were observed to be a cloud that, glowing splendidly, * was overshadowing the Church’s people, long ago * in the imperial city, O all-pure Virgin. * Inasmuch as you protect us as our champion, * from all kinds of tribulations keep us safe and sound, * as we cry aloud: Rejoice, luminous protective veil!

Πρὸς Ἑβραίους Ἐπιστολῆς Παύλου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.
The reading is from Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews.
Εβρ 9:1 – 7
Heb. 9:1 – 7
Ἀδελφοί, εἶχεν ἡ πρώτη σκηνὴ δικαιώματα λατρείας τό τε Ἅγιον κοσμικόν· σκηνὴ γὰρ κατεσκευάσθη ἡ πρώτη, ἐν ᾗ ἥ τε λυχνία καὶ ἡ τράπεζα καὶ ἡ πρόθεσις τῶν ἄρτων, ἥτις λέγεται Ἅγια. μετὰ δὲ τὸ δεύτερον καταπέτασμα σκηνὴ ἡ λεγομένη Ἅγια Ἁγίων, χρυσοῦν ἔχουσα θυμιατήριον καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης περικεκαλυμμένην πάντοθεν χρυσίῳ, ἐν ᾗ στάμνος χρυσῆ ἔχουσα τὸ μάννα καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος Ἀαρὼν ἡ βλαστήσασα καὶ αἱ πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης, ὑπεράνω δὲ αὐτῆς Χερουβὶμ δόξης κατασκιάζοντα τὸ ἱλαστήριον· περὶ ὧν οὐκ ἔστι νῦν λέγειν κατὰ μέρος. Τούτων δὲ οὕτω κατεσκευασμένων εἰς μὲν τὴν πρώτην σκηνὴν διὰ παντὸς εἰσίασιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰς λατρείας ἐπιτελοῦντες, εἰς δὲ τὴν δευτέραν ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ μόνος ὁ ἀρχιερεύς, οὐ χωρὶς αἵματος, ὃ προσφέρει ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ ἀγνοημάτων.
Brethren, the first tent had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. For a tent was prepared, the first one, in which were the lamp stand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies, having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties; but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people. [RSV]

The reading is from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Λκ 10:38 – 42, 11:27 – 28
Lk. 10:38 – 42; 11:27 – 28
Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, εἰσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς κώμην τινά. γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι Μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς. καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη Μαρία, ἣ καὶ παρακαθίσασα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἤκουε τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ. ἡ δὲ Μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν· ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπε διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται. ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Μάρθα Μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ τυρβάζῃ περὶ πολλά· ἑνὸς δέ ἐστι χρεία· Μαρία δὲ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο, ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς. Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἐπάρασά τις γυνὴ φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακαρία ἡ κοιλία ἡ βαστάσασά σε καὶ μαστοὶ οὓς ἐθήλασας. αὐτὸς δὲ εἶπε· μενοῦνγε μακάριοι οἱ ἀκούοντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ φυλάσσοντες αὐτόν.
At that time, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.” As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that nursed you!” But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” [RSV]
Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Θεοτόκον.
Hymn to the Theotokos.
Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον, τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ, τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν, τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.
It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Logos. We magnify you, the true Theotokos.

Ἔτι δεόμεθα ὑπὲρ αἰωνίας μνήμης καὶ μακαρίας ἀναπαύσεως τῶν ψυχῶν πάντων τῶν ὑπὲρ τῆς Πίστεως καὶ τῆς Πατρίδος ἡμῶν ἡρωϊκῶς ἀγωνισαμένων καὶ ἐνδόξως πεσόντων ἐν τοῖς ἱεροῖς ἀγῶσι τοῦ Ἔθνους ἡμῶν, πάλαι τε καὶ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ συγχωρηθῆναι αὐτοῖς πᾶν πλημμέλημα ἑκούσιόν τε καὶ ἀκούσιον.
Again, let us pray the blessed memory and eternal repose of all those involved in the heroic struggles for the faith and our Homeland and who have gloriously fallen in the sacred national struggles, those of old and of late, and for the forgiveness of all their sins and transgressions both voluntary and involuntary.
( Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη· αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη· αἰωνία αὐτῶν ἡ μνήμη. )
( Eternal be their memory. Eternal be their memory. Eternal be their memory. )
Ἔτι δεόμεθα καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ διαφυλαχθῆναι τὴν Ἁγίαν τοῦ Χριστοῦ Μεγάλην Ἐκκλησίαν, τὴν Ἱερὰν ἡμῶν Ἀρχιεπισκοπήν (καὶ τὴν Ἱερὰν ταύτην Μητρόπολιν), καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν καὶ χώραν, ἀπὸ ὀργῆς, λοιμοῦ, λιμοῦ, σεισμοῦ, καταποντισμοῦ, πυρός, μαχαίρας, ἐπιδρομῆς ἀλλοφύλων, ἐμφυλίου πολέμου καὶ αἰφνιδίου θανάτου· ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἵλεων, εὐμενῆ καὶ εὐδιάλλακτον γενέσθαι τὸν ἀγαθὸν καὶ φιλάνθρωπον Θεὸν ἡμῶν, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι καὶ διασκεδάσαι πᾶσαν ὀργὴν καὶ νόσον τὴν καθʼ ἡμῶν κινουμένην, καὶ ρύσασθαι ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῆς ἐπικειμένης δικαίας αὐτοῦ ἀπειλῆς, καὶ ἐλεῆσαι ἡμᾶς.
Again we pray for the protection of the Holy and Great Church of Christ, our Sacred Archdiocese (and this Sacred Metropolis), this city and every city and land, from wrath, famine, pestilence, earthquake, flood, fire, sword, foreign invasion, civil strife, and accidental death.

Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι καὶ αὖθις ἐπὶ τὴν εὔσημον ταύτην ἡμέραν ἤγαγες ἡμᾶς, ἐπινίκιον ᾠδὴν σοὶ ἀναμέλψαι τῷ εὐεργέτῃ καὶ σωτῆρι ἡμῶν. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ οἱ Ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ λαοῦ ἐπὶ ταὐτὸ συναχθέντες ἀνάμνησιν ἐπιτελοῦμεν ἔργου θαυμαστοῦ καὶ μεγάλου, ὃ ἡ δεξιά σου εἰργάσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἡμῶν, εἰς ἔνδειξιν, ὅτι ἡμέρα Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντα ὑβριστὴν καὶ ὑπερήφανον καὶ ἡμέρα πτώσεως ἐπὶ πάντα ὑψηλὸν καὶ μετέωρον· τοὺς γὰρ ἐνδόξους συνετάραξας μετὰ ἰσχύος καὶ τοὺς ὑψηλοὺς τῇ ὕβρει συνέτριψας μετὰ δυνάμεως, Διὰ τοῦτο, Κύριε, σήμερον τῆς αἰνέσεώς σου πλήρης ἡμῶν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ καὶ ἐν εὐγνωμοσύνῃ καὶ ἀγαλλιάσει βοῶμέν σοι· Τὰς ὁδούς σου, Κύριε, γνώρισον ἡμῖν καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξον ἡμᾶς, νομοθέτησον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου καὶ ὁδήγησον πάντας, τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τὸν Λαόν, ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου, ὅτι πολλοὶ κυκλόθεν οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν καὶ μακάριος ὁ λαός, οὗ ἐστι βοηθὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ, Ἔτι δὲ καὶ ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν τῶν μαρτύρων ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν δεόμεθά σου, τῶν τε ἐν πολέμῳ πεσόντων, τῶν τε ἀναιρεθέντων καὶ τῶν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ καὶ ἐξορίᾳ τελειωθέντων, ἵνα αὐλισθῶσιν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ ἀναπαύσωνται μετὰ δικαίων καὶ ἵνα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ὡς βοτάνη ἀνατείλῃ, ὅπως ἂν οἵ τε ζῶντες καὶ οἱ ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι ἀναστάσεως κεκοιμημένοι εὐχαριστήριον αἶνον καὶ δοξολογίαν σοὶ ἀναπέμπωμεν τῷ κραταιῷ Βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
We thank You, O Lord our Savior, that You have brought us once again to this auspicious day, to sing a hymn of victory to You, our benefactor and Savior. For behold, our leaders and all the congregation of the people, having gathered together, commemorate the wonderful and great event which Your right hand has accomplished in our days, so as to demonstrate that there is a day of the Lord upon everyone that is insolent and arrogant, a day of falling for all who are haughty and self-exalted; for You have shaken the glorious in Your might, and have crushed the proud and insolent with Your power. For this reason, Lord, on this day our whole Land is full of praises for You, and in rejoicing and gratitude we cry to You: Make Your paths known to us, O Lord, and teach us Your ways; direct us in Your path and guide all of us, both leaders and people, to Your truth; for many are the enemies surrounding us, but blessed are the people whose helper is the Lord their God. We also pray to You for the souls of our martyred brethren: those who fell in war, those who were slaughtered, and those who died in captivity or exile; may they dwell in blessedness and repose with the righteous; may their bones come to life again as green grass, so that both the living and those who have fallen asleep in the hope of resurrection may raise up a hymn of thanksgiving and doxology to You, the mighty King of the ages, for ever and ever.
