O Ever-Virgin Mother of God, shelter of mankind,/ thou hast given a powerful legacy to thy people,/ thine immaculate body's tunic and sash which remain incorrupt through thy pure childbirth./ For in thee time and nature are renewed,/ and we implore thee to obtain peace for the world and great mercy for our souls.
Thou hast given the covering of thy pure body/ as an incorrupt garment for all the faithful,/ and as shelter for all mankind,/ O pure Lady, Mother of God./ We celebrate its placing in Blachernae/ and cry to thee with fear and love:/ O Virgin, boast of Christians, rejoice.
