Apolytikion for Holy Myrrhbearers Sunday
Standing by the tomb the angel said to the Myrrh-bearing women: "Myrrh is for the dead; but Christ has shown Himself stranger to death." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
Today is the crown of our Salvation and the manifestation of the Eternal Mystery. The Son of God becometh the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel announceth the good tidings of grace. Wherefore let us also with him cry to the Mother of God: Hail! You full of grace; the Lord is with you.

Kontakion
Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades' power, and You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women, "Hail!" and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up the fallen. - Translation by Narthex Press
