Afterfeast of the Meeting of our Lord in the Temple


Commemorated on February 6


The fourth day of the Afterfeast of the Meeting of the Lord falls on February 6.


Troparion - 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.


Kontakion - Tone 1
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!
