The Feast of The Theotokos

My favorite Marian Feast is tomorrow-the Feast of the Mother of God, the Theotokos, the God-Bearer.

Here is a troparion from the Byzantine tradition.

It is truly meet to bless thee, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God:
more honorable than the cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim.
Without corruption thou gavest birth to God, the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.



And the icon is of Our Lady of Sitka, Alaska.
