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.

Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Presentation of Our Lord and Savior in the Temple
Hail, full of grace, Virgin Theotokos, for from you there dawned the Sun of righteousness, Christ our God who enlightens those in darkness. Be glad too, righteous Elder, for you received in your embrace the Liberator of our souls, who grants us also resurrection.

Apolytikion of the Church
Troparion of our Church: Tone 7
Thou wast transfigured on the mountain, O Christ our God, showing to Thy disciples Thy glory as each one could endure. Shine forth Thou on us, who are sinners all, Thy light ever-unending, through the prayers of the Theotokos. Light-bestower, glory be to Thee.

Troparion of St. Herman: Tone 4
O Blessed Father Herman of Alaska, North Star of Christ's Holy Church, the light of your holy life and great deeds, guides those who follow the Orthodox way. Together we lift high the Holy Cross you planted firmly in America. Let all behold and glorify Jesus Christ, singing His Holy Resurrection.

Kontakion
You sanctified a virgin womb by Your birth, and fittingly blessed Symeon’s hands; You have come now too and saved us, O Christ God. But give peace to Your commonwealth in times of war, and strengthen its rulers, whose friend You are, for You alone love mankind.

It is possible for those who have come back again after repentance to shine with much lustre, and oftentimes more ...Read Full Text >

This is very encouraging. May the Lord help and ...Read Full Text >
