Troparion — Tone 1
Hail, Virgin Theotokos, full of grace; / for from you has shone forth the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God, / giving light those in darkness. / Be glad, O righteous Elder; / for you received in your arms the Redeemer of our souls, / Who bestows upon us resurrection.

Theophany of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

When Thou, O Lord, was baptized in the Jordan the worship of the Trinity was made manifest for the voice of the Father bear witness to Thee and called Thee His beloved Son. And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the truthfulness of His word. O Christ, our God, Who has revealed Thyself and has enlightened the world, Glory to Thee!
