Theotokarion

Theotokarion (Greek: θεοτοκάριον) is a book or collection of hymns to Mary (theotokion)*.

A Theotokion (Greek: Θεοτοκίον) is a hymn to Mary, the Theotokos (Birthgiver of God), which is read or chanted (troparion or sticheron) during the Divine Services.

The theotokion that occurs at the end of “Lord, I Have Cried” at Vespers is called a Dogmaticon because the text of the hymn deals with the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ. The Dogmaticon is often chanted in a solemn manner

A Stavrotheotokion is a hymn to the Theotokos that also refers to the Crucifixion of Christ.

The Resurrectional Aposticha Theotokia

Tone 1: Behold, the prophecy of Isaiah hath been fulfilled, /
for a Virgin hath given birth, /
and after giving birth hath remained a Virgin as before. /
For God was born; therefore He began nature anew. /
O Mother of God, disdain not the supplications of thy servants, /
which are offered unto thee in thy temple; /
but as thou bearest the Compassionate One in thine arms, /
have pity on thy servants, //
and beseech Him that our souls be saved.

Tone 2: O new wonder greater than all the wonders of the past! /
For who hath ever known a mother to give birth without having known a man, /
and to bear on her arm Him Who sustaineth all creation? /
Yet it was the will of God to be born. /
O all-pure one, who bore Him in thine arms as an infant /
and hast maternal boldness before Him: /
cease not to pray in behalf of those who honor thee, //
that He have compassion and save our souls.

Tone 3: Through the divine Spirit, by the will of the Father, /
without seed thou didst conceive the Son of God /
Who hath existed without mother from before the ages, /
and for our sake thou gavest birth in the flesh unto Him /
Who came forth from thee without father; /
and thou didst nurture Him on milk as a babe. /
Wherefore, cease not to pray, //
that our souls be delivered from tribulations.

Tone 4: Mercifully regard the supplications of thy servants, /
O all-immaculate one, /
quelling the uprisings of the cruel demons against us, /
delivering us from every sorrow; /
for thee alone have we as a steadfast and sure confirmation, /
and we have acquired thine intercession; /
let not us that call upon thee be put to shame, O Mistress. /
Haste thou to answer the entreaty /
of those who cry out to thee with faith: /
Rejoice, thou help, joy and protection of all, //
and salvation of our souls!

Tone 5: Thou art the temple and portal, /
the palace and throne of the King, /
O most honored Virgin, /
through whom Christ the Lord, my Deliverer, /
Who is the Sun of righteousness, /
hath revealed Himself unto those who sleep in darkness, /
desiring to enlighten that which He fashioned /
by His own hand in His image. /
Wherefore, O most hymned one, /
as thou hast acquired maternal boldness before Him, //
entreat Him without ceasing, that our souls be saved.

Tone 6: Christ the Lord, my Creator and Deliverer, /
Who came forth from thy womb, O all-pure one, /
and robed Himself in me, /
hath freed Adam from the curse. /
Wherefore, like the angel do we unceasingly cry out to thee, /
O most pure one, who art truly the Mother of God and Virgin: /
Rejoice! Rejoice, O Mistress, //
thou intercession, protection and salvation for our souls!

Tone 7: Having recourse unto thy protection, O Mistress, /
all of us born of earth cry aloud to thee: O Theotokos, our hope, /
deliver us from our countless transgressions, //
and save thou our souls.

Tone 8: O unwedded Virgin /
who ineffably conceived 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.

The Resurrectional Dismissal Theotokia

Tone 1: When Gabriel announced to thee, “Rejoice!”, O Virgin, /
the Master of all became incarnate within thee, the holy tabernacle, at his cry, /
as the righteous David said. /
Thou wast shown to be more spacious than the heavens, /
having borne thy Creator. /
Glory to Him Who made His abode within thee! /
Glory to Him Who came forth from thee! //
Glory to Him Who hath set us free by thy birthgiving.

Tone 2: All of thy most glorious mysteries are beyond comprehension, O Theotokos; /
for, thy purity sealed and thy virginity intact, /
thou art known to be a true Mother, /
having given birth unto God. //
Him do thou entreat, that our souls be saved.

Tone 3: We hymn thee who hast mediated the salvation of our race, O Virgin Theotokos; /
for thy Son and our God, /
accepting suffering on the Cross in the flesh He had received of thee, /
hath delivered us from corruption, //
in that He is the Lover of mankind.

Tone 4: The mystery hidden from before the ages /
and unknown even to the angels, /
through thee, O Theotokos, hath been revealed to those on earth: /
God incarnate in unconfused union, /
Who willingly accepted the Cross for our sake /
and thereby raising up the first-formed man, //
hath saved our souls from death.

Tone 5: Rejoice, impassible gate of the Lord! /
Rejoice, rampart and protection of those who have recourse unto thee! /
Rejoice, haven untouched by storms, /
thou that knowest not wedlock, /
who gavest birth in the flesh to thy Creator and God! /
Fail not in thy supplications //
for those who hymn and venerate thy birthgiving!

Tone 6: Gideon foretold thy conception, /
and David proclaimed thy birthgiving, O Theotokos; /
for as the dew descended upon the fleece, /
so did the Word descend into thy womb, /
and thou, O holy ground, /
without seed didst put forth Christ our God, /
the salvation of the world, //
O thou who art full of grace.

Tone 7: As thou art the treasury of our resurrection, O all-hymned one, /
lead up from the pit and abyss of transgression those who trust in thee, /
for thou who gavest birth to our Salvation /
hast saved those who are subject to sin. /
O thou who before giving birth wast Virgin, and during thy birthgiving wast virgin, //
thou remainest a Virgin even after giving birth.

Tone 8: O Good One, Who for our sake wast born of the Virgin /
and, having endured crucifixion, cast down death by death, /
and as God revealed the resurrection: /
disdain not that which Thou hast fashioned with Thine own hand. /
Show forth Thy love for mankind, O Merciful One; /
accept the Theotokos who gave Thee birth and prayeth for us; //
and save Thy despairing people, O our Savior!
