Resurrectional Apolytikion First Tone
The stone that had been sealed before Your tomb by the Jews and the soldiers guarding did watch over Your pure and sacred body. O Savior the third day You arose, and unto all the world did You give life. Where by all the heavenly powers did proclaim that You are the giver of life. Glory unto our resurrected Christ. Glory unto Your Kingdom. Glory to Your dispensation O You alone who loves all. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary

Apolytikion of the Church
O blessed are You O Christ our God, Who by sending down the Holy Spirit upon them made the fishermen wise and through them Illumined the world. And to You the universe was ever drawn, all glory to You O Lord.
