This work is an original translation of the beloved small and large supplicatory canon of the Most Holy Theotokos.

The translation maintains, with minimal deviations, the same number of syllables and the same accentuation as the original, resulting in the preservation of the same chanting style, which serves as an excellent aesthetic bridge from the ancient to the contemporary linguistic form.

But are the meanings misrepresented in the translation? Let the Reader provide the answer, and we will thank him for any corrections that may be made in the next edition.
