Apolytikion for Great and Holy Pascha

“Christ is risen from the dead; and by His death has He trampled upon death;
and to those in the tombs does He grant life!”



Apolytikion for Thomas Sunday

Christ our God, You are the Life that dawned from the grave, though the tomb was sealed. Through closed doors You came to the Apostles. You are the Resurrection of all. And, You renewed us through them with an upright Spirit, according to Your great mercy.



Kontakion

Though You went down into the tomb, O Immortal One, You destroyed Hades’ power, and rose the victor, Christ God. To the myrrh-bearing women, saying “Rejoice!” and granting peace to Your Apostles; You are He Who raises the fallen.



Magnificat of the Sunday of St. Thomas

Most radiant lamp and the Mother of God, the incomparable glory, and the one who is more exalted than all creatures, in hymns we magnify you.
