Thou art an impregnable wall and a source of miracles enabling us to subdue enemy attacks, O Mother of God. Wherefore we pray thee, grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.
We celebrate the venerable Icon of the Sign, most holy Mother of God, whereby thou didst grant thy city a wonderful victory over its enemies. Wherefore we cry to thee with faith: Rejoice, O Virgin, thou boast of Christians.
