Apolytikion: Without knowing a man, you received God in your womb, and you carried Him Panagia in your womb, therefore we hasten to you as one who is pregnant because you are a sure aid, that I may come to the time of birth-giving, as is meet by your power. Rejoice Mariam who conceived God, rejoice the support of mothers: Rejoice the support and succour of all women who have conceived.
