On the day of God’s favor, the transfiguration, / and the preaching of the salvation of men, / the Virgin clearly appears in the temple of God, / and heralds Christ to everyone. / We, too, will cry out loudly: / rejoice in watching The creator's fulfillment.
The most pure temple of the Savior, / the many-valued palace and the Virgin, / the sacred treasure of the glory of God, / today is brought into the house of the Lord, the grace that brings together, / Even in the Divine Spirit, / They sing Angels of God // This is the village of Heaven.

Today the virgin gives birth to the Most Existent, / and the earth brings a den to the Unapproachable, / Angels and shepherds sing praises, / and they travel with a wolf with a star: / for our sake he was born / / Childhood Mlado, Eternal God.

In the Jordan I am baptized to You, O Lord, / Trinitarian adoration appears: / For Your parents’ voice bears witness to You, / Named Your beloved Son, / And the Spirit in the form of a dove, / Knowing Your words affirmation./ Christ God appears, // and the world is enlightened, glory to Thee.
Thou hast appeared this day to the universe,/ and Thy light, O Lord, has come upon us,/ in the minds of those who sing Thee:/ Thou hast come, and Thou hast appeared,// an unapproachable light.

Rejoice, Blessed Virgin Mary, / from You has risen the Sun of Truth - Christ our God, / enlightening those in darkness. / Rejoice, you too, the elder righteous, / received into the arms of the Liberator of souls ours, // giving us resurrection.
You sanctified the womb of the Maiden with Your Nativity,/ and blessed the hand of Simeon,/ as it was fitting, having foreshadowed,/ and now you have saved us, O Christ God,/ but die in the battles of life// and strengthen the people whom you have loved, O One Lover of Mankind.
* * *
The day of our salvation is the most important, / and from time immemorial the mystery has been revealed: / The Son of God, the Son of the Virgin, comes, / and Gabriel preaches grace. / Moreover, we also cry out to the Mother of God: / Rejoice, O blessed one,// The Lord is with you.
To the chosen Voivode, victorious,/ as having got rid of the evil ones,/ let us write thanksgiving to Ti, Thy servants, to the Mother of God./ But, as having an invincible power,/ free us from all troubles, let us call Ti // Rejoice, Unbridled Bride.

General Resurrection/ before Thy Passion, assuring,/ Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead, O Christ of God./ Likewise we, like the children of victory bearing the sign,/ unto Thee, the Victor We cry out to death:/ Hosanna in the highest,// Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Having been buried in You through baptism, O Christ our God, / immortal lives are made worthy of Your resurrection, / and we cry in praise: / Hosanna in the highest, / / blessed is He who comes in the name Lord.
On the throne in Heaven, / carried on the earth by lots, O Christ God, / the praise of angels and the hymns of children, / you received those calling You // blessed are you, to call forth Adam who is coming.

Thou hast ascended in glory, O Christ our God,/ having brought joy to the disciple,/ by the promise of the Holy Spirit,/ by the blessing that was communicated to them,// for Thou art the Son of God, the Savior of the world.
Having fulfilled your concern for us,/ and having united us on earth with the Heavenly One,/ you ascended in glory, Christ our God,/ never absent yourself,/ but remaining relentless,/ and crying out to those who love Tya // I am with you and no one else is with you.
* * *
Blessed art thou, O Christ our God,/ who are all wise fishers of things,/ having sent down unto them the Holy Spirit,/ and with those thou hast caught the universe,// Lover of mankind, glory to Thee.
Whenever the tongues came together,/ the Most High divided the tongues,/ when the fiery tongues were distributed,/ all were called into unity,// and we glorify the All-Holy Spirit in agreement.
* * *
Thou art transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, / showing to Thy disciples Thy glory, / like man, / that Thy ever-present light may shine upon us sinners, / through the prayers of the Mother of God, // Light-giver, glory to You.
You were transfigured on the mountain,/ and as the host of your disciples,/ you saw your glory, O Christ God,/ so that when they see you crucified,/ you will understand your free suffering,/ They will preach to the world that You are truly the Father’s radiance.
* * *
At Christmas you preserved your virginity, / in the Dormition you did not abandon the world, O Mother of God, / you reposed to the belly, Mother of the Being of the Belly, / / and through your prayers you delivered from death our souls.
In prayers, the never-sleeping Mother of God/ and in intercessions, the immutable hope/ the grave and mortification cannot be restrained:/ like the Mother of the Belly/ left to the belly// into the womb of the Ever-Virgin One.
The Twelfth Feasts are the twelve main holidays after Easter.
