DownloadО дивное чудо! Источник Жизни во гробе полагается, и лествица к небеси гроб бывает: веселися Гефсимание, Богородичен святый доме. Возопием вернии, Гавриила имуще чиноначальника: Благодатная радуйся, с Тобою Господь, подаяй мирови Тобою велию милость.The stikheron after the Psalm 50

The angels, as they looked upon the Dormitionof 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.
