Τὴν ἐν πρεσβείαις ἀκοίμητον Θεοτόκον καὶ προστασίαις ἀμετάθετον ἐλπίδα τάφος καὶ νέκρωσις οὐκ ἐκράτησεν, ὡς γὰρ ζωῆς Μητέρα, πρὸς τὴν ζωὴν μετέστησεν, ὁ μήτραν οἰκήσας ἀειπάρθενον.
In the prayers of the never-sleeping Mother of God and in intercessions, the immutable hope of the grave and mortification cannot be restrained: just as the Mother’s life was left to the life in the womb of the ever-virgin one.
The Mother of God, vigilant Intercession, for the protection of immutable Hope, was not overcome by the grave and death, for She, as the Mother of Life, was once brought into life by the One who lived in the eternally virgin womb.
