Prayer to the Theotokos
Svichka.org · 2026-08-28
The Most Holy Theotokos is our Intercessor before God. Prayer to the Theotokos is an appeal to the Mother who never leaves her children without help.
Prayer to the Theotokos
«Most Holy Theotokos, Virgin Mary, Mother of God, accept our prayer. Intercede for us before Your Son and our God. Cover us with Your protection, shield us from all evil, grant us health, peace, and joy. Amen.»
O Theotokos and Virgin (short)
«O Theotokos and Virgin, rejoice, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, for Thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. Amen.»
When to read the prayer to the Theotokos
One turns to the Theotokos in every need: for health, for children, for protection, in sorrow, before surgery. The prayer to the Theotokos before icons in the temple is especially strong.
The Theotokos as Intercessor
The Ukrainian people have always especially venerated the Theotokos — the Protection (Pokrova). Faith in Her intercession saved in the hardest times. Pray — and She will hear.
