Resurrectional Apolytikion
Let us worship the Word who is unoriginate * with the Father and the Spirit, and from a Virgin was born * for our salvation, O believers, and let us sing His praise. * For in His goodness He was pleased * to ascend the Cross in the flesh, and to undergo death, * and to raise up those who had died, * by His glorious Resurrection. -Translation by Fr. Seraphim Dedes

Apolytikion for Sunday of Orthodoxy
O Christ our God, begging forgiveness of our sins, we venerate Your Pure Image, O Good One. Of your own will you condescended to ascend upon the Cross in the flesh and deliver those You created from the bondage of the enemy. Wherefore, thankfully, we cry out, "When You came to save the world, Your filled all things with joy, O Our Savior." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
Save O Lord, O Lord Your people, and bless Your inheritance. Granting victory to the faithful against the adversaries of the Faith, and protect Your people through Your Holy Cross, Your Holy Cross.
