Troparion (Tone 8)

Blessed art You O Christ Our God

You have revealed the fishermen as most wise

By sending down upon them the Holy Spirit

Through them You drew the world into Your net

O Lover of Man, Glory to You!

Kontakion (Tone 8)

When the most High came down and confused the tongues,

He divided the nations;

But when he distributed the tongues of fire

He called all to unity.

Therefore, with one voice, we glorify the All-holy Spirit!

Troparion (Tone 4)

O Christ God, You have ascended in Glory,

Granting joy to Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit.

Through the blessing they were assured

That You are the Son of God,

The Redeemer of the world!

Kontakion (Tone 6)

When You did fulfill the dispensation for our sake,

And unite earth to Heaven:

You did ascend in glory, O Christ our God,

Not being parted from those who love You,

But remaining with them and crying:

I am with you and no one will be against you.

Troparion (Special Melody)

Christ is risen from the dead,

trampling down death by death,

and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!

Hypakoe

Before the dawn,

Mary and the women came and found the stone

rolled away from the tomb.

They heard the angelic voice:

“Why do you seek among the dead as a man the One who is everlasting light?

Behold the clothes in the grave!

Go and proclaim to the world: The Lord is risen!

He has slain death, as He is the Son of God,

saving the race of men.”

Kontakion (Tone 8)

Thou didst decend into the tomb, O Immortal,

Thou didst destory the power of death!

In victory didst Thou arise, O Christ God,

proclaiming “Rejoice” to the myrrhbearing women,

granting peace to Thy apostles,

and bestowing resurrection to the fallen.

Paschal hymn to the Theotokos:

The angel cried to the Lady Full of Grace: Rejoice, O Pure Virgin!

Again I say: Rejoice! Your Son is risen from His three days in the tomb!

With Himself He has raised all the dead! Rejoice, all you people!

Shine! Shine! O New Jerusalem!

The Glory of the Lord has shone on you!

Exalt now and be glad, O Zion!

Be radiant, O Pure Theotokos, in the Resurrection of your Son!

Troparion (Tone 2)

When You did descend to death, O Life Immortal,

You did slay hell with the splendor of Your Godhead,

And when from the depths You did raise the dead,

All the Powers of Heaven cried out,

O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You!

Kontakion (Tone 6)

He who shut in the depths is beheld dead,

Wrapped in fine linen and spices.

The Immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mortal man.

The women have come to anoint Him with myrrh,

Weeping bitterly and crying:

“This is the most blessed Sabbath

On which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day!”

Troparion (Tone 1)

By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion,

You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God!

Like the children with the palms of victory,

We cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death;

Hosanna in the Highest!

Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!

Troparion (Tone 4)

When we were buried with You in Baptism, O Christ God,

We were made worthy of eternal life by Your Resurrection!

Now we praise You and sing:

Hosanna in the highest!

Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!

Kontakion (Tone 6)

Sitting on Your throne in heaven,

Carried on a foal on earth, O Christ God!

Accept the praise of angels and the songs of children who sing:

Blessed is He that comes to recall Adam!

Troparion (Tone 1)

By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion,

Kontakion (Tone 2)

Christ the Joy, the Truth and the Light of all,

The Life of the World and the Resurrection

Has appeared in His goodness to those on earth.

He has become the Image of our Resurrection,

Granting divine forgiveness to all!

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!

Forefeast hymns

Troparion (Tone 1)

The celestial choir of heavenly angels

Bends down to the earth

And sees the First-born of all creation

Being carried into the Temple as a babe

By a Mother who has not known man,

And in amazement sings with us a pre-festal hymn.

Kontakion (Tone 6)

The Word, unseen with the Father,

Now is seen in the flesh, ineffably born of the Virgin,

And is given into the arms of the priest and Elder.

Let us worship Him, our True God.
