Resurrectional Apolytikion Third Tone
Let all things above in heav'n rejoice, and let all things below on earth be glad. With all the might and strength of His arm an eternal deed the Lord did perform. Beneath His feet He has trampled down death by death, and first born of the dead has He become. From the womb of Hades has He delivered us, and to all the world has granted His great redeeming mercy. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Ευφραινέσθω τά ουράνια, αγαλλιάσθω τά επίγεια, ότι εποίησε κράτος, εν βραχίονι αυτού, ο Κύριος, επάτησε τώ θανάτω τόν θάνατον, πρωτότοκος τών νεκρών εγένετο, εκ κοιλίας άδου ερρύσατο ημάς, καί παρέσχε κόσμω τό μέγα έλεος.

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
A protection of Christians unshamable,* Intercessor to our Holy Maker, unwavering,* reject not* The prayerful cries of those who are in sin.* Instead, come to us, for you are good;* Your loving help bring unto us,* Who are crying in faith to you:* Hasten to intercede* And speed now to supplicate,* As a protection for all time,* Theotokos, for those who honor you.
-Translation from "The Service of Paraklesis" by Holy Cross Orthodox Press
For if we, going about on the earth which is familiar and well known to us, being encompassed with a body, when we  ...Read Full Text >
