Apolytikion for Forefeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary
In faith, O ye people, leap for joy while clapping your hands; and gather in gladness on this day with longing and shout in radiant jubilance. For the Theotokos cometh nigh to departing from the earth unto the heights; and we glorify her with glory as the Mother of God in our unceasing hymns - Copyright Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA, used by permission.

Apolytikion of the Church
In giving birth, O Theotokos, you have retained your virginity, and in falling asleep you have not forsaken the world. You who are the Mother of Life have passed over into life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death.
