Resurrectional Apolytikion Grave Tone
By Thy Cross Thou didst abolish death;
To the thief Thou didst open Paradise;
Thou didst transform the myrrhbearers’ lamentation,
And didst order Thine Apostles to preach
That Thou are risen, O Christ our God,
Bestowing great mercy upon the world.


Apolytikion Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple (Fourth Mode)
Today is the prelude of God's good will and the heralding of the salvation of mankind. In the temple of God, the Virgin is presented openly, and she proclaimeth Christ unto all. To her, then, with a great voice let us cry aloud: Rejoice, O thou fulfilment of the Creator's dispensation. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Apolytikion Saint Nicholas (Fourth Mode)
The truth of things hath revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,
An icon of meekness and a teacher of temperance;
For this cause thou hast achieved the heights by humility,
Riches by poverty.
O Father and Hierarch, Nicholas,
Intercede with Christ God
That our souls be saved.


Kontakion The Entry into the Temple Of the Theotokos (Fourth Mode)
The sacred treasury of God’s holy glory,
The greatly precious bridal chamber and Virgin,
The Saviour’s most pure temple, free of stain and undefiled,
Into the House of the Lord on this day is brought forward
And bringeth with herself the grace
Of the Most Divine spirit;
Her do God’s Angels hymn with songs of praise,
For she is truly the heavenly tabernacle.
