Resurrectional Apolytikion
When you descended to the realm of death, You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant divinity. And when you from infernal depths and the darkness below did raise the dead, all the hosts of heaven's powers did proclaim and cry out; O life giving Christ and our God, we give glory.


Apolytikion for Synaxis of The Three Hierarchs: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, & John Chrysostom
The three most great luminaries of the Three-Sun Divinity have illumined all of the world with the rays of doctrines divine and true; they are the sweetly-flowing rivers of wisdom, who with godly knowledge have watered all creation in clear and mighty streams: The great and sacred Basil, and the Theologian, wise Gregory, together with the renowned John, the famed Chrysostom of golden speech. Let us all who love their divinely-wise words come together, honouring them with hymns; for ceaselessly they offer entreaty for us to the Trinity. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA

Apolytikion of the Church
Let us praise in hymns the all-lauded bride of Christ,* Catherine, the guardian of Sinai,* who is our help and our support;* for by the power of the Spirit she silenced brilliantly* the nobility of liars.* And now that she has been crowned as a Martyr,* she seeks for all Great Mercy.

Kontakion

For as teaching without doing condemns the teacher so doing but not guiding others, lessens our reward. One ought  ...Read Full Text >
