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. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Ἐξ ὕψους κατῆλθες ὁ εὔσπλαγχνος, ταφὴν καταδέξω τριήμερον, ἵνα ἡμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃς τῶν παθῶν. Ἡ ζωὴ καὶ ἡ Ἀνάστασις ἡμῶν, Κύριε δόξα σοι.

Hymn of the Day (Forefeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ)
Come, let us all welcome the Transfiguration of Christ, and joyously celebrate the bright prefestival, O ye faithful, and let us cry: Nigh at hand now is the day of God-given gladness, as the Sovereign Master goeth up on Mount Tabor to flash forth with the beautiful light of His Divinity. - Copyright Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA, used by permission.

Hymn of the Church

Your apostle among kings Lord, placed his capitol in Your hands, preserve our country in everlasting peace. Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, for You alone, are the lover of mankind.

Kontakion

So absolutely nothing does it avail to be near Christ, if not being near Him by faith .... Signifying therefore  ...Read Full Text >
