Canon of the Most Holy Theotokos

Song 1

Irmos: Israel got rid of bitter work, pass through the impassable, as if it were dry, the enemy was drowned in vain, a song as if to a benefactor sings to God, a miracle worker with a high muscle, as if glorified.

Chorus: Holy Mother of God, save us.

Horrified by fear, the All Tsaritsa, the angelic ruling authority, praising Thee: all mind sings goodness for the sake of, like the Mother of the Creator: for all praise you have excelled the rank, having given birth to Christ.

Weep with fierce misfortunes and coldness from the enemy, accursed, with a cry I invite you: from above, stretch out Thy hand, O One Rich One, that deliver me, and live comfortably in Thy prayers.

Glory: Secret souls of transgressions with the healing of mercy, heal and calm down the fleshly striving, Mother of God: and return a copy of enemies and arrows, thrust deep into their hearts.

And now: To pasture the ancient consume the murderous womb of Devich, giving birth to Christ: the same all creation rejoices now, Most Pure One, as if revived: and according to it sings Thy Son and God.

Song 3

Irmos: Let the mortal boast not in wisdom and wealth, but in the faith of the Lord, Orthodox crying out to Christ to God and singing always: on the stone of Thy commandments, establish me, Master.

Jacob the great on the way, sometimes sleeping, descending from above by the ladder, Virgin, seeing the angels on earth, marveling: and having opened, the prescription is revealed to you the Door of Heaven.

By temporary restraint, the accursed az was thrown into misfortune, and by the storms of misfortune we torment, alas, to me, crying: Even God who gave birth to and lifted up our horn, save me with Thy prayers.

Glory: From Heaven, I stretched out my strong hand, about all the King Christ, sensual and mental, my Jesus, put the heads of enemies under the nose, the Mother of God Thy faithful preachers.

And now: Isaiah of old, cleanse yourself with the coal of the Spirit, from Thy womb, the Most-Rich Virgin, Crying out to the Son to be born: last times, for my sake, without a husband you gave birth.

Song 4

Irmos: Hearing in ancient times Habakkuk, Christ, Thy wonderful hearing and crying out in fear: God will come from the south, and the Holy One from the mountain in the forest, save the anointed one: glory to Thy strength, O Lord.

To you, as if I exist in women, I am red and honored, as if I ascend from the wilderness, and I carry the Branch of Christ into my hand, Mother of God, preimagining the world leader, crying: Glory to Your strength, Lord.

Incline Thy ear, Good One, and see my bitterness and misfortune multiply: to Thee, O Lady, I stretched out my soulful eye and bow my knee with a cry, now I pray, crying out: confuse me with misfortunes.

Glory: The invincible Wall of Thee is led, attracted by prayer, Your slave now I run to You and the arrows of the enemy, as if I were infantile, were ineffective, O Rich One! The same and rejoicing crying: glory, Bogomati, Thy Christmas.

And now: the Power of the Most High Thee, Virgin, fall by the influx of the Divine Spirit: and then, more than the nature of everyone, the Lord, having revived the flesh and soul, return to Himself, being in that nature.

Song 5

Irmos: Shine forth Thy necessary light, Christ, in the hearts of those who truly sing Thee, give us peace more than our minds. Thus, from the night of ignorance to the day, Thy light flows, I praise Thee, Human-loving.

Divine Thee, having seen sometimes Daniel, the insect mountain, Praying, crying out manifested, sitting from Thee with the stone of the Theotokos, Christ the Savior of the world: Him, faithful, now honoring, we praise Thee, God-bride.

The accursed misfortune has fallen by many, praying with sickness and crying of the heart, Your servant is cold, crying: Deliver, Mother of God, from the troubles that have gained my humility and joy, fulfill me.

Glory: Calm down my ferocious abyss with your strong prayer, Good, Even more passions besides giving birth to Christ: as if in the silence of my soul now alive, other things of my life, I sing Thee in songs.

And now: what kind of God do you bear on your hand, rtsy? And kako doishi, all things with the hand of the One who contains, O Virgin, All-blessed, I, speech, I remain pure and after Christmas, I have given birth to Christ God, I have taken away Adam's duty and foremother.

Song 6

Irmos: All from immeasurable passions I contain and a whale of evil despair: but raise me out of corruption, God, as before Jonah, and by faith grant me dispassion, as if in the voice of praise and salvation I will devour Ti in the spirit.

Sitting did not recede from the bowels of the Parent into the bowels of the Mother's Son, the Pre-flying: finally, Who was with the Father before, from the womb of the Virgin to prodigy, all to a life that was immortal, erecting with inexpressible goodness.

Beligami is bound by enemies from bitterness, into hellish faith, alas to me, he has fallen down: but come, appear from Heaven, the Pure Divine Lady, who raise me with Thy prayers, Thy servant, and give a helping hand to the one who sings Thy Divine Christmas.

Glory: A cursed sink into the moat of perdition, and the beast hugs me: but to the Lady, turn away the stones with Your prayers, and observe Your servant unharmed: You wore the cornerstone, Christ, in Your valleys.

And now: Anciently prophet Divine face proclaim, Virgin, Thy Nativity images: shining cloud Thy, and candlestick, and stamnu, and meal, and Heavenly dew, bread, manna and door, throne, and chamber, rod, paradise, like Christ giving birth.

Same: Lord have mercy, thrice... Glory, and now

Sedalen Voice 1:

Mother of Thy God is all holy, the Virgin is truly, and at Christmas appeared, with love resorting to Your goodness: You are imams, sinners, an intercessor, and You are a banner of salvation in misfortune, Alone All-blameless.

Canto 7

Irmos: Proidosh, like a palace, an unbearable cave flame, like for piety, sometimes the children of the saint appeared to reality, and, according to a chanting song, sing a song: Fathers, God, blessed art.

Walking the Eternal with Thy impassable doors, All Tsaritsa, Thy signs are pure and safe, and clean even for Christmas: the same cry: our father, God, blessed art.

I was thrown into the cave, I scorched with seven-numbered flames from soul-killing troubles: but rain itself with dew, the Good Lady, with Your prayers, but cry: God is blessed our father.

Glory: I grew old by passions, and by unrelenting misfortunes and sorrows, and having reached the west of my life, I was not involved in virtue, I was consumed by laziness, crying to Ty, Lady: earthly consolation, have mercy on me!

And now: the Trinity in Unity is Orthodox in the Orthodox service, Ty, Mother of the Virgin Pure, like God who gave birth to the flesh preaching earthly, we sing divinely: our father, God, blessed art.

Canto 8

Irmos: The miracle of the natural display is the image of a fire-bearing cave of ancient times: the fire did not burn down the young children, Christ revealing the seedless Divine Christmas from the Virgin. By this let us sing in praise: may all creation bless the Lord and exalt for ever.

The all-true word of the priest, imagine Thy Christmas, Virgin: verily, Thou didst give birth to the Word of God, and the false is not open, Virgin, God will pass in image. Therefore, rejoicing at the Mother of God Ty, according to our duty, we sing and exalt the Pure One for all ages.

Thorns that have grown into my soul ineffectively, fell with Divine fire, Most Pure One, and with Your prayers for virtue, raise me up, create fruitfulness for Christ: from You, the flower grows ever alive, adorn all creation. By this we venerate The Mother of God Pure for all ages.

Glory: Healing in the fierce ones, Mother of God, give me painlessly soon: falling into sorrows and troubles, I call upon the accursed Your speed in intercession, sobbing. The same, Most Pure One, hasten to take me out and save me from all torment, as if with blessing I sing Your Christmas.

And now: Imagine a rod of Aaron's vegetation for Ancient Thee, Virgo: You have given birth to the One as a vegetation without a husband, Heavenly now, you have received rain in your womb. Thus rejoicing, Ty theotokos in accordance with our duty we sing and exalt for all eternity.

Canto 9

Irmos: The unspeakable sacrament of the Virgin: Heaven is Bo this, and the Cherubim throne, and the luminous palace appeared to Christ God the Almighty. This very piously, like the Mother of God we magnify.

Gloriously Virgin sacrament: It cannot contain the heavenly greatness, but it is in the womb. At the same time, when we come together, we please Yu, and we truly magnify with joy.

Seeing Thee is the One, as if above heaven, the dawn of God, not deep, the cherubic throne, and the palace and the bed are holy, praising the earthly, we magnify Christ our God: You have given birth to Him from pure loins.

Glory: Near me there are many sorrows, and evil adversity is now attacking, diseases and fierce sins have plunged into the pit. The same I pray to Thee in the sorrow of my soul, the Most Holy Theotokos, to find deliverance for me.

And now: Calm the world, Christ, with the prayers of the Pure Divine Lady, overthrowing the strength of the enemy and arranging an unspeakable silence for us, keep it forever.

Orthodox St. Tikhon University for the Humanities

Moscow, 2006.

In this book, the reader is offered the collected together canons of the Mother of God, read at Compline. These canons, which are a masterpiece of Orthodox hymnography, traditionally constitute a special liturgical book - the Theotokos. In modern Russian tradition, the Theotokos is usually fully included in the Octoikh. In the Greek Churches, it is still widely used both in worship and in home prayer. The present edition, in addition to the canons of the Mother of God themselves for each day, arranged according to the voices and days of the week, includes the rites of Small Compline and General Moleben, during which these canons should be sung. The appendices also contain the Akathist and selected canons of the Mother of God on various occasions (some of them have been translated into Church Slavonic for the first time), as well as articles on the use of the canons of the Mother of God in Orthodox worship and on the history of the Theotokos as an independent book.

The History of the Liturgical Book 191

From the editorial board

The satiety of Thy praises, Virgo,

there are no godly faithful

[The pious faithful cannot fully

be satisfied with your praises, O Virgin!] 1.

As every Orthodox Christian knows, not a single day - neither in cell nor in public worship - is complete without prayers and chants in honor of the Queen of Heaven, the Most Holy Virgin Mary. Everyone from their own experience knows how warmth becomes in the heart when you sincerely pray to the Mother of God, how quickly and mercifully Her answer to our prayers is. Whether in sorrowful circumstances of life, in adversity and troubles - or, conversely, in moments of our joy and thanksgiving - the Mother of God is always close to us and does not leave without Her mercies anyone who falls at Her most pure feet.

Prayer appeals to the Mother of God are filled with all Orthodox divine services - in addition to the services specially dedicated to Her, special concluding chants - "theotokos" - contain chants (songs of the canons, cycles of stichera, dismissal troparia, sedals, lamps, etc.) in almost all other services on a variety of topics. Without exception, all the canons to the saints glorify the Most Pure One as the final troparion of each song. The home prayer of Orthodox Christians is also permeated with an appeal to Her: rules for the morning and “for those who are to sleep”, adherence to Holy Communion with the canon of the Mother of God, and for especially zealous pilgrims - and the Akathist in Her honor. In their considerable part, the creations of saints and God-enlightened men, these texts, as a rule, are "heard" by church people and enjoy their constant love.

However, few know that the statute prescribed Orthodox Church The liturgical circle, in addition to other chants of the Theotokos, contains another, special and very extensive layer of canons and sedals addressed to the Mother of God - these are the Theotokos chants of Little Compline. The daily celebration of Little Compline in the church has almost disappeared from the parish (and, alas, even the monastery) practice, therefore, not only the majority of the laity, but also many clergy and clergymen know almost nothing about these chants of the Theotokos. But the liturgical charter prescribes daily the rite of small compulsion - and, with rare exceptions, the corresponding canon of the Mother of God should be performed at compulsion.

There are 56 such canons - for each evening a special Theotokos canon is laid down according to the voice and day of the week - which means that now pious laity are deprived of the opportunity to hear in the church nearly sixty wonderful creations of ancient hymns. Moreover, it is not so easy to add these canons to the domestic prayer rule - the skill of using liturgical books (in this case, Octoechos) at home is too rare today. It is sad that these remarkable - both in antiquity, and in beauty, and in rich theological content - texts for the most part remain unknown to church people in Russia. In Greece, for example, the book, which collected the canons of the Mother of God - Theotokaryon (Theotokos), never disappeared either from church or household use and is very popular among believers today. Unfortunately, in our home prayer practice, the place of these canons was taken by numerous akathists, infinitely inferior to them in spiritual content and artistic merit. The overwhelming majority of them cannot be compared with their prototype - the first Akathist to the Mother of God. Many such akathists, compiled in the last two centuries, endlessly repeat each other, sin with scarcity and stereotyped content, stylistic primitiveness, and often with direct errors - both theological and linguistic.

Of course, this situation cannot be changed overnight: it is not superficial at all and is associated with a whole range of historical and spiritual reasons. And yet it will be gratifying if a modern believer gets the opportunity to pray together with the Church, not in spite of, but in accordance with its thousand-year charter. To join your voice and your heart to the church statutory prayer, finding in this the like-mindedness and unity with the holy fathers, who inspired the Mother of God, and with our ancestors, who for centuries turned to Her intercession with the same words - what could be more valuable for this To whom is the liturgical heritage of the Church dear?

To promote the wider use by believers of the treasures of Orthodox hymnography - this is the purpose of this book. Its main part consisted of fifty-six canons of the Mother of God (for every day of the week for eight tones), intended for daily performance at Little Compline. In modern practice, they are published as part of the Octoichus and are placed in it in different places; the present edition follows the ancient tradition, when all these canons are brought together in one book - the Theotokos - which makes it easier to read them at home ("in private"). For those who are zealous about the statutory prayer, the book contains the ranks of Lesser Compline and General Moleben, which, according to the liturgical statute, should include these canons.

In addition to this, the main part, the Appendices contain several more canons of the Mother of God. The first are two "prayer" canons - and if the first, the so-called "small prayer" (beginning of the first troparion: Many content in misfortune...), well known to everyone from various editions of the Prayer Book, in which this canon is placed almost always, then the second, the so-called "great prayer" canon (beginning of the first troparion: Sorrowful guidance...), is known to the Russian believers only by the appendix to the Octoichus, although in the Greek editions of the Prayer Book it is always cited together with the first. Further in the Appendices are the Akathist of the Mother of God and two canons from the service of the Sabbath of the Akathist (or Praise to the Mother of God), the first of which is given according to the Triodi, and the second is translated from Greek into Church Slavonic specifically for this publication. Finally, the Appendices are completed by two more canons of the Mother of God, also translated into Church Slavonic for the first time. These canons belong to the pen of the outstanding song-makers of the Eastern Church - the Monk Theodore the Studite and Saint John the Euchaite - and complement each other: if the canon of St. Theodora is intended to pray during various tribulations, then the canon of St. John - thanksgiving, read after deliverance from sorrow or healing from illness.

For those who wish to more clearly understand the place of the canons of the Mother of God in the structure of Orthodox public worship and domestic rule, as well as to learn the history of the Theotokos as a liturgical book, at the end of this publication there are corresponding articles by Deacon Mikhail Zheltov and A. A. Lukashevich and A. A. Turilov ...

In conclusion, we express the hope that this publication will serve not only to familiarize oneself with the treasures of Orthodox hymnography, but also become a handbook of daily prayer for all its readers, serving their spiritual growth in line with the church tradition. To all those who flow to the life-giving springs of ancient prayers, we wish quick and grace-filled help from the One to Whom they are turned.

CANONS OF THE MOTHER OF GOD IN THE DAILY PRAYER RULE

ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN

Deacon Mikhail Zheltov Canons of the Mother of God Everyday prayer is an integral part of the spiritual life of every Christian. Already at the earliest time in the Church, a circle of daily services was established, the regular performance of which, on the one hand, obviously expresses that believers always walk with God 2 and remember Him, on the other hand, it is an inexhaustible source of grace-filled help for everyone.

In the Byzantine tradition, which the Orthodox Church follows and which has developed many centuries ago, the daily services include two large successions - Vespers and Matins, and seven small - four daytime hours (1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th) j), which are adjacent to the pictorial, and two night services (Compline and Midnight Office). Vespers and Matins, in comparison with other daily services, have a much more pronounced communal character. Together with the Divine Liturgy, Vespers and Matins form the usual circle of daily divine services in the church; other daily services can join Vespers, Matins and Liturgy, or can be read at home.

Reading at home the daytime hours (during the day), as well as Compline (before bedtime) and Midnight Office (after awakening from sleep) were common practice in Byzantium and Russia. Nowadays, such a practice is rare - in the daily life of pious Christians, the place of Compline and Midnight Office was taken by the prayer rules for future sleep and the morning. However, by their origin, these rules are nothing more than abbreviated Compline and Midnight Office with additional prayers.

The rules for future sleep and morning ones have been guiding Orthodox Christians in their prayer life for four centuries and constitute one of the many treasures of Church Tradition. But nevertheless, they are just a simplification of the tradition that arose already in the ancient Church and, from the point of view of the Church Statutes, should be observed even now - the tradition of the daily performance (in private or in the church) of Compline and Midnight Office (as well as other daily services).

This is how it is said in one of the manuscript collections of the 16th century that every person trained in the Word of God, that is, literacy and the Church Rite, should sing the services of the daily cycle 3 every day. from the collection of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra: “To every scholar of the Word of God it is said: to rule day and night singing, but as a priest - always ... Singing is always ruling, talking with God and with the saints; must be without blemish all the days of bringing it "(RKp.RGB.TSL-osn. 793 .. 107).

In particular, this also applies to Compline, which was kept in the practice of cell prayer to a greater extent than other daily services - according to many modern editions of the Prayer Book and the Service Book, Compline should be read together with the rule for Holy Communion, and this rule is observed by many in practice.

The liturgical Rule adopted now in the Orthodox Church knows two types of Compline - great and small. Great Compline, now performed only during Great Lent and on some special occasions, is much older than Small Compline and goes back to the Jerusalem and Palestinian liturgical tradition of the 4th-6th centuries. It has three parts; the first of them opens with six psalms4 and also includes biblical canto 5 from the book of the prophet Isaiah God is with us, the Creed, some troparia and prayers; the main content of the second and third parts are sequences of two psalms and one biblical song (in the second part, these are psalms 50 and 101 and the song of King Manasseh; in the third, psalms 69 and 142 and daily doxology).

Small Compline, which the Rule prescribes to be performed daily, except for the days of singing Great Compline and Bright Week6, is an abbreviation of the Great Compline - in fact, this is the third part of Great Compline, to which the 50th Psalm (at the beginning) and the Creed (after the daily praise) are added ). At the end of Small Compline, additional prayers can be read for future sleep7. In the already mentioned collection of the XVI century. from the collection of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, Compline is given the following interpretation: "The feast-party [should] pet and pray to God that [He] may honor us without sin and honor the night and praise the prayers."

A striking feature of Compline, which distinguishes it from other services of small hours, is the presence of a hymnographic canon in Compline. The canon, one of the most extensive types of church chants, is the most important part of Matins, the longest of the services of the daily circle, which should begin late at night and end at dawn. How can one explain the presence of such a significant, both in volume and in content of the hymnographic text, not only in the rite of Matins, but also in the lesser compulsion compared to the Matins?

Compline inherited the canon from monastic pannichis - a special service at the beginning of the night, common among monasticism in Asia Minor in the 7th-12th centuries. At pannykhis, as at matins, the canon was sung - thus, the night in the services of the Asia Minor monasteries of the 7th-12th centuries.

began (on pannykhis) and ended (in the morning) with the singing of the canons. With distribution in the XIII-XIV centuries. everywhere in the Orthodox world of the Jerusalem charter, the monastic pannichis 8 (later known as the general prayer service, and the funeral version of the pannikhis - under the name of the panikhida) ceased to be considered an obligatory component of the daily circle 9, and its canon became part of Compline.

According to the liturgical Rule adopted now in the Orthodox Church, the canon of the Mother of God is sung every day at Compline, according to the voice of the Octoichus and the day of the week 10 - in other words, every evening the Rule prescribes the fulfillment of the canon of the Mother of God.

Although this prescription is rarely observed today, its trace remains in the general Russian practice of reading several canons before communion, including the canon of the Mother of God.

This book will be useful, first of all, for those who wish to more strictly fulfill the prescriptions of the Ustav - it contains all those canons of the Mother of God that should be sung every day at Compline, as well as several additional canons. There is a deep spiritual meaning in the daily singing of the canon of the Mother of God, for Her prayer to Her Son and our Savior has great power. Prayer invocations addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos, the intercessor and representative of Christians, are contained in every service, but detailed chants - canons - addressed to Her are found only in the successions of Matins on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, as well as holidays. By prescribing the singing of the canons of the Mother of God every day at Compline, the Rite makes up for some of their lack at Matins.

The canons of the Mother of God, which are to be performed at Compline, constitute the content of a special book - the Theotokos11. The modern Russian editions of Oktoikh include the canons of the Theotokos in full, therefore, the editions of the Theotokos as a separate book are absent in the current Russian tradition; among the Greeks, on the contrary, the Theotokos is still published separately.

The main content of this book is made up of the canons of the Theotokos - a total of 56 canons arranged according to the voices, and within the voices - according to the days of the week. Thus, in order to find the canon laid down in the Rite, one should determine which voice goes according to Octoichus, and open the required day of the week in this voice (for example, to sing the canon at Compline on Wednesday evening, one should look for Wednesday evening in Octoichus). In this book, which repeats the traditional structure of the ancient Theotokos, the canons are also distributed according to the voices, and within the voices - according to the days of the week; to facilitate the statutory reading of them, the publication contains the adherence of small compulsion, and two options for its performance are given - with and without a priest.

Of course, the canons can be read without Compline, either separately or in conjunction with the sequencing of the prayer service12. The custom of singing prayers with the canons is very common in the Greek Churches. As noted above, the custom of performing the canon at Compline is genetically related to the ancient service of Pannychis, to which the following of the general prayer also goes back.

The ustav knows two canons of the Mother of God - the small and the great13, which must be performed at the prayer service; the statutory procedure for singing the common prayer service to the Mother of God is given in the Book of Hours and in the Octoikha14. The prayer service15 is also the rite of singing the canon of the Mother of God, which is published in modern editions of the Prayer Book. This book contains both canons of the Theotokos, as well as the full rite of the common prayer to the Mother of God, in two versions - for performing it with and without a priest. In addition to the canons of prayer, any other canon of the Mother of God can be sung during the prayer service, including those included in this book.

Along with the canons, the akathists are also an expanded church hymnographic form. The model for all of them is the Akathist of the Mother of God, well known to every Orthodox Christian16. According to the Rite, the Akathist is performed on the Sabbath of the Akathist, but many read it on other days as well - for example, among the pious Greeks it is a tradition to read it daily. For this reason, the Akathist is also included in this book; he is accompanied by two canons of the Akathist — the one given in the Lenten Triodion and another, much less well-known. If desired, the Akathist, together with his canon, can be performed as part of a prayer service; in this case the Akathist is sung according to the 6th canon instead of general kontakion Betrayal of Christians.

The text of the second canon of the Akathist in this book is based on the New Theotokos, very popular in the Greek Churches, compiled by St. Nicodemus Svyatogorets on the same principle as the traditional Theotokos, but containing a different set of canons.

In addition to this canon, from the canons of the New Theotokos, two more canons of the Mother of God, authorship of St. Theodore the Studite and St. John the Euchaite 17. These two canons complement each other: if the canon of St. Theodora is intended to pray during various tribulations, then the canon of St. John - after deliverance from sorrow or healing from illness.

In conclusion, we express the hope that this publication will serve the spiritual benefit of all its readers, and we wish all of them the grace-filled help of the Mother of God.

Holy Mother of God, save us!

The satiety of Thy praises, Virgo, does not exist for the pious faithful [The pious faithful cannot be fully satisfied with the praises of Thee, O Virgin!].

Prayer appeals to the Mother of God are filled with all Orthodox divine services - in addition to the services specially dedicated to Her, special concluding chants - "theotokos" - contain chants (songs of the canons, cycles of stichera, dismissal troparia, sedals, lamps, etc.) in almost all other services on a variety of topics. Without exception, all the canons to the saints glorify the Most Pure One as the final troparion of each song. The home of Orthodox Christians is also permeated with an appeal to Her: rules for the morning and “for the future sleep,” following to Holy Communion with the prayer canon of the Mother of God, and for especially zealous pilgrims - and an Akathist in Her honor. In their considerable part, the creations of saints and God-enlightened men, these texts, as a rule, are "heard" by church people and enjoy their constant love.

Of course, this situation cannot be changed overnight: it is not superficial at all and is associated with a whole range of historical and spiritual reasons. And yet it will be gratifying if a modern believer gets the opportunity to pray together with, not contrary to, but in accordance with its thousand-year charter. To join your voice and your heart to the church statutory prayer, finding in this the like-mindedness and unity with the holy fathers, who inspired the Mother of God, and with our ancestors, who for centuries turned to Her intercession with the same words - what could be more valuable for this To whom is the liturgical heritage of the Church dear?

In addition to this, the main part, the Appendices contain several more canons of the Mother of God. The first are two "prayer" canons - and if the first, the so-called "small prayer" (the beginning of the first troparion: With many misfortunes ...), is well known to everyone from various editions of the Prayer Book, in which this canon is placed almost always, then the second, the so-called "great prayer" canon (the beginning of the first troparion: Sorrowful guidance ...) is known to the Russian believers only by the appendix to the Octoichus, although in the Greek editions of the Prayer Book it is always cited together with the first. Further in the Appendices are the Akathist of the Mother of God and two canons from the service of the Sabbath of the Akathist (or Praise to the Mother of God), the first of which is given according to the Triodi, and the second is translated from Greek into Church Slavonic specifically for this publication. Finally, the Appendices are completed by two more canons of the Mother of God, also translated into Church Slavonic for the first time. These canons belong to the pen of the outstanding songwriters of the Eastern Church - the Monk and Saint John the Euchaite - and complement each other: if the canon of St. Theodora is intended to pray during various tribulations, then the canon of St. John - thanksgiving, read after deliverance from sorrow or healing from illness.

Most Holy Theotokos, do not leave us sinners!

Holy Mother of God, save us!
