Apolytikion (First Tone)
The stone had been secured with a seal by the Judeans, * and a guard of soldiers was watching Your immaculate body. * You rose on the third day, O Lord * and Savior, granting life unto the world. * For this reason were the powers of heaven crying out to You, O Life-giver: * Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ; * glory to Your eternal rule; * glory to Your dispensation, only One who loves mankind. -Translation by Fr. Seraphim Dedes

Hymn of the Day (Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt)
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Mother. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ.

But let no man be troubled at the apostles being in such an imperfect state. For not yet was the cross  ...Read Full Text >
