In giving birth, you preserved your virginity! In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos! You were translated to life, O Mother of Life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death!

Kontakion of the Feast (Tone 2) 

2 Ěb. Download

Neither the tomb, nor death, could hold the Theotokos, who is constant in prayer and our firm hope in her intercessions. For being the Mother of Life, she was translated to life by the One who dwelt in her virginal womb!

When the translation of your most pure tabernacle was being prepared, the Apostles surrounded your deathbed and looked upon you with dread, and as they gazed at your body, they were filled with awe. In tears Peter cried out to you: “Undefiled Virgin, I see you, the life of all mankind lying here outstretched, and I am struck with wonder. For He Who is the delight of the future life made His dwelling in you! Pray then fervently to your Son and God to save your flock from harm.

The angels, as they looked upon the Dormition
of the All-immaculate one, were struck with wonder,
seeing how the Virgin went up from earth to heaven.
/In thee, O Virgin without spot, / the bounds of nature are overcome: / for childbirth remains virgin / and death is betrothed to life. / O Theotokos, Virgin after bearing child and alive after death, // do thou ever save thine inheritance.
