Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the First Tone
O Faithful, let us sing a hymn of praise and worship to the Logos, coeternal with the Father and the Spirit, who was born of the Virgin for our salvation. Of His own will He went upon the Cross in the flesh and suffered death, to raise the dead through His glorious Resurrection. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Forefeast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross
We offer Thee in mediation the life-giving Cross which, of Thy goodness, Thou hast given unto us, the unworthy, O Lord. Save Thy hierarchs and Thy flock, and grant Thou peace through the Theotokos, O only friend of man. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Apolytikion of the Church
Today is the crown of our Salvation and the manifestation of the Eternal Mystery. The son of God become the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel announce the good tidings of grace. Wherefore let us also with him cry to the Mother of God: Hail! you who are full of grace; the Lord is with you.

Kontakion
The Church is shown to be a many-lighted heaven that doth shine a guiding light upon all them that do believe; wherein while standing we cry aloud: Do Thou Thyself now establish this house, O Lord. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
