Thank you.

I offer my prayers through the intercession of St. Gregory the Wonderworker. Lord have mercy!

Prayers.

Protected by your coming, O Mother of God, well-believing people solemnly celebrate today. Gazing upon your immaculate image they humbly say: "Watch over us with your noble protection and deliver us from all evil by asking your Son, Christ our God, to save our souls." (Troparion)
