To Thee the Champion Leader | Mother of God | Theotokos with Sword IconoGraphic | Orthodox Christian Blue Denim JacketTo thee, the Champion Leader, we thy servants dedicate a feast of victory and of thanksgiving as ones rescued out of sufferings, O Theotokos: but as thou art one with might which is invincible, from all dangers that can be do thou deliver us, that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

that God may be all in all

and he hath set darkness in my paths

‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us
