Resurrectional Apolytikion First Tone
Savior, Your tomb was sealed with a stone. Soldiers kept watch over Your sacred body. Yet, You rose on the third day giving life to the world. Wherefore the powers of heaven cried out, "O Giver of Life, glory to Your Resurrection O Christ; glory to Your Kingdom, glory to Your dispensation who alone are the Loving One." - Copyright Narthex Press, used by permission.

Apolytikion for Sunday of the 7th Ecumenical Council
Most glorified art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast established our Fathers as luminous stars upon the earth, and through them didst guide us all to the true Faith. O Most Merciful One, glory be to Thee. - Copyright Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA, used by permission. All rights reserved

Apolytikion of the Church

Apolytikion for Catherine the Great Martyr of Alexandria

For, she brilliantly silenced the eloquence of the impious by the sword of the spirit, and now, crowned as a martyr, she asks great mercy for all. - Copyright Narthex Press, used by permission.

Kontakion
O friends of martyrs, now divinely raise up a renewed chorus, praising the all-wise Catherine. For, she proclaimed Christ in the arena, trampled on the serpent, and spat upon the knowledge of the orators. - Copyright Narthex Press, used by permission. All rights reserved
