Glory to Jesus Christ!
Dear Friends,
Troparion in tone 1
Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, full of grace!
From you shone the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God. Enlightening those who sat in darkness!
Rejoice, and be glad, O righteous elder;
You accepted in your arms the Redeemer of our souls,Who grants us the Resurrection.

By Your nativity, You did sanctify the Virgin's womb,And did bless Simeon's hands, O Christ God.
Now You have come and saved us through love.
Grant peace to all Orthodox Christians, O only Lover of man!
Happy Feast Day of the Meeting of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple!
Your brother in Christ,
Thomas
