Protection (Pokrova) of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary – 1 October

1 October 2024 at 06:00

Glory to Jesus Christ!

A blessed Feast of the Protection (Pokrova) of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary to all!

Today the faithful celebrate the feast with joy, illumined by thy coming, O Mother of God. Beholding thy pure image, we fervently cry to thee: Encompass us beneath the precious veil of thy protection; deliver us from every form of evil by entreating Christ, thy Son and our God, that he may save our souls.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

A blessed Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God to all!


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.
