Saturday Evening at Great Vespers

Dogmatic Theotokion

In His love for mankind, the King of heaven appeared on earth and dwelt among men;/ for He Who received flesh from the pure Virgin/ and came forth from her having received human nature,/ is the only Son of God,/ two in nature but not hypostasis./ Therefore, proclaiming Him to be truly perfect God/ and perfect man,/ we confess Christ our God./ Him do thou beseech, O Mother unwedded,// that our souls find mercy!

At the Resurrectional Aposticha

O unwedded Virgin who didst ineffably conceive God in the flesh,/ Mother of God Most High:/ Accept the entreaties of thy servants,/ O most immaculate one,/ granting unto all cleansing of transgressions;/ and, accepting now our supplications,// pray thou that we all be saved.
