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

Hymn o fthe Dya (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. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Mary, your soul rejoices with the angels. -Translation by Narthex Press

Hymn of the Church
Having seen the sign of the Cross in the sky and like Paul having received his calling from heaven, and not from men, Your apostle among Kings, Lord, placed his capitol in Your hand. Preserve our country in everlasting peace, through the intercessions of the Theotokos, for You alone are the Lover of mankind.

A protection of Christians unshameable * Intercessor to our Holy Maker unwavering * Reject not, the prayerful cries of those who are in sin * Instead, come to us for you are good * Your loving help bring unto us * Who are crying in faith to you * Hasten to intercede * And speed now to supplicate * As a protection for all times * Theotokos for those who honor you.
