To Thee the Champion Leader | Mother of God | Theotokos with Sword IconoGraphic | Orthodox Christian Midweight Cotton Unisex TeeTo thee, the Champion Leader, we thy servants dedicate a feast of victory and of thanksgiving as ones rescued out of sufferings, O Theotokos: but as thou art one with might which is invincible, from all dangers that can be do thou deliver us, that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! A Prince of the Angels was sent from Heaven to say to the Theotokos, Rejoice! And seeing Thee, O Lord, take bodily form at the sound of his bodiless voice,

Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings

but the things which are not seen are eternal

may we see Thy day

With this understanding in mind

and Vladimir Mother of God

From death I redeem them

but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place

' as if he abominated it as absurd

which taketh away the sins of the world" (John 1:29)

and that I am the Lord your God

aka Our Lady of Vladimir
