Resurrectional Apolytikion - Tone 8 (Page 54)
From on high You descended, O merciful One, and accepted the three-day burial to free us from our passions. Glory to You, O Lord, our life and resurrection.
Apolytikion for Saint John of the Ladder (Page 73)
With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert fertile, and with the sighs of sorrow from your heart you have made your labors to bear a hundredfold. With the glory of your miracles you have become a light to the inhabited earth, O John, our holy father. Pray to Christ our God for the salvation of our souls.
Apolytikion of the Church
Blessed are You, O Christ our God, Who has shown forth the fishermen to be most wise by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit. And through them, You drew the world into Your net. O merciful One, glory to You!
Kontakion of the Akathist to the Theotokos (Page 54)
O Champion General, I your City now ascribe to you / triumphant anthems as the tokens of my gratitude, / being rescued from the terrors, O Theotokos. / Inasmuch as you have power unassailable, / from all kinds of perils free me so that unto you / I may cry aloud: Rejoice O unwedded Bride.
