Apolytikion for Plagal of the Second Tone
O Christ, the angelic powers appeared at Your tomb, the guards were as dead, and Mary stood by the sepulcher, seeking Your sacred body. You destroyed Hades yet remained untouched by it. You encountered the Virgin and through her, bestowed Life. Glory to You who has risen from the dead! -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Sunday of the Holy Fathers
You are greatly glorified, O Christ our God, who established our Fathers as luminaries upon the earth, and through them led us all to the true Faith. O Most compassionate, glory to You. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
Today is the beginning of our salvation, and the revelation of the mystery of ages. The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims this gift from God. Together with him, we cry out, to you, O Theotokos: “Hail, you who are full of grace, the Lord is with you.”

Kontakion
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
