Resurrectional Apolytikion

O Merciful Lord, You descended from on high and endured the three-day burial to free us from our passions. O Lord, our life and resurrection, glory to You.



Apolytikion for 40 Martyrs at Lake Sebaste

Be entreated, O Lord, by the sufferings endured for You by the Saints, and we pray You, heal all our pain.



Apolytikion of the Church
Today is the crown of our salvation, and the revelation of the mystery planned from eternity; the Son of God, becomes the Virgin’s Son, and Gabriel announces the grace. Wherefore, we along with him, to the Theotokos let us cry out: Rejoice, O full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Kontakion
O Master, Prudence, Guide of Wisdom, Instruction to the foolish and Defender of the poor, strengthen my heart and grant it discernment. Give me words, Word of the Father, for behold, I shall not keep my lips from crying out to You, "O Merciful One, have mercy on me who has fallen." - Translation by Narthex Press
