Apolytikion of the Great and Holy Pascha (Page 74)
English: Christ is risen from the dead, by death trampling upon death and to those in the tombs He has bestowed life.
Greek: Χριστός ανέστη εκ νεκρών, θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας
και τοις εν τοις μνήμασιν, ζωήν χαρισάμενος.
Phoenetics: Christós anésti ek nékron, thanáto thánaton patísas, ke tis en tis mnímasi zoín harisámenos.

Resurrectional Apolytikion - Tone 5 (Page 53)
To the Word, co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, born of the Virgin for our salvation, let us, the faithful, give praise and worship. Of His own will He mounted the Cross in the flesh, He suffered death and raised the dead by His glorious resurrection.

Phoenetics: Ev-lo-yi-tos i Hri-ste o The-os i-mon. O Pan-so-fous tous a-li-is a-na-di-xas ka-ta-pemp-sas af-tis to Pnev-ma to A-yi-on, ke di af-ton tin i-kou-men-in sa-i-nef-sas, fi-lan-thro-pe, do-xa si.

Kontakion of Pascha (Page 74)
Though You descended into the grave, O Immortal One, yet You destroyed the power of Hades, and arose as victor, O Christ God, calling to the myrrh-bearing women "Rejoice," and giving peace to Your Apostles, O You Who grants resurrection to the fallen.
