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, You filled all things with joy, O our Savior.”



Resurrectional Apolytikion

Your tomb was sealed with a stone, O Savior. Soldiers kept watch over Your sacred body. Yet, You rose on the third day giving life to the world. Wherefore the powers of heaven cried out, "O Giver of Life, glory to Your Resurrection O Christ; glory to Your Kingdom, glory to Your dispensation Who alone are the Loving One."



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

To you, the Champion Leader, we your flock dedicate a feast of victory and of thanksgiving, as ones rescued out of sufferings, O Theotokos. But as you are one with might which is invincible, from all dangers that can be do you deliver us, that we may cry to you: Rejoice, O Bride unwedded.
