Resurrectional Apolytikion First Tone
Though the tomb was sealed with a stone by the Jews and the soldiers guarded Your pure body, You arose, O Savior, on the third day, giving life to the world. Therefore, O Giver of Life, the heavenly powers praise You. Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ; glory to Your kingdom; glory to Your plan of redemption, O only loving God.
Apolytikion for the Dormition of the Theotokos (Page 69)
In giving birth you retained your virginity, and in falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. You were translated unto life, being the Mother of Life. And by your intercessions you deliver our souls from death.
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 Dormition of the Theotokos
Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life.
