Thou wast translated unto life, since thou art the Mother of Life, and by thine intercessions dost thou deliver our souls from death." Kontakion, Tone Two: "The grave and death could not hold the Theotokos, who is sleepless in her intercessions and an unfailing hope in her mediations. For as the Mother of Life, she was translated unto life, by Him Who dwelt in her ever-virgin womb."                                                             ============================================================================================================================= Troparion, Tone two: "We venerate Thy most pure image O Good One, and ask forgiveness of our transgressions O Christ Our God, for of Thine own good will Thou wast pleased to ascend the cross in the flesh, to deliver from slavery to the enemy, those whom Thou hast created. Therefore we thankfully cry to Thee, Thou hast filled all things with joy, O Our Saviour,  by coming to save the world!"
