Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the Second Tone
When the angelic powers appeared at your tomb and those who guarded You became as though dead, and standing by Your sepulchre was Mary seeking Your pure and sacred body. For You did vanquish Hades and uncorrupted by its touch You came unto the virgin woman, bestowing the gift of life O You who rose from the dead. Lord we give glory to You. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion for Gurias, Samonas, & Avivos, Martyrs & Confessors of Edessa
You have given us the miracles of Your holy Martyrs as an impregnable wall, O Christ our God. At their entreaties, frustrate the plots of enemy nations, and strengthen our government, for You alone are good and love humanity. - Translation by Father Seraphim Dedes

Apolytikion of the Church
Your Birth o Theotokos, brought joy to the whole world. For from you rose the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God. He canceled the curse and poured forth His grace: He vanquished death and granted us eternal life.
