Our Great Intercessor: The Small & Great Paraklesis and the Lamentations of the Panagia
This book partners with two cds of the same titles, (1) and (2), chanted by the sisterhood of the Life-Giving Spring Monastery. The Lamentations of the Panagia are chanted in this monastery annually during the vigil of the Dormition. Children can learn much about the Panagia by reading the hymnography in this beautiful, full-color book. The chanting on the cds is in Greek, but the book contains the words in both Greek and English.

Apolytikion

In giving birth, thou didst preserve thy virginity; in thy dormition, thou didst not forsake the world, O Theotokos. Thou wast translated unto life, since thou art the Mother of Life; and by thine intercessions dost thou redeem our souls from death.

Kontakion

The grave and death could not hold the Theotokos, who is unsleeping in her intercessions and an unfailing hope in her mediations. For as the Mother of Life she was translated to life by Him Who dwelt in her ever-virgin womb.

Sticheraric Apolytikio of the Dormition of the Theotokos
