Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the Fourth Tone
From on High did You descend, O merciful Lord, for us did You endure, three days in the tomb that we may be, released from passions in this world, You who are our resurrection and our life Glory unto You O Lord.
Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary
In giving birth you retained your virginity, and in dormition you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. You were translated unto life, being the Mother of Life. And thus by virtue of your intercessions you deliver our souls from death.
Apolytikion of the Church
Blessed are You, O Christ our God. Who by sending down, the Holy Spirit upon them, made the fishermen wise and through them, illumined the world. And to You, the universe is ever drawn, glory to You O lover of mankind.
Kontakion
Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life.
