Resurrectional Apolytikion Second Tone

When you descended to the realm of death You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant dignity. 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 Apodosis 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.

Kontakion

In your holy birth, Immaculate One, Joachim and Anna were rid of the shame of childlessness; Adam and Eve of the corruption of death. And so your people, free of the guilt of their sins, celebrate crying: "The barren one gives birth to the Theotokos, who nourishes our life."
Wherefore then did He not do this, nor forgive the debt before the account? Desiring to teach him, from how many  ...Read Full Text >

THE FOUR SEASONS OF THE TREE

A wonderful fable tells us the story of a wise king of Persia who wanted to teach his sons not to make rash judgements. In order to do this, he sent his oldest son on a long journey to see a mango tree. He dutifully journeyed to the farthest reaches of the kingdom, saw the tree, and returned. Some time later, he sent his second son on the same journey, and so on until all four sons had seen the ...Read Full Text >
