Resurrectional Apolytikion
Savior, Your tomb was sealed with a stone. 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." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Apodosis of the Presentation of the Theotokos into the Temple
Today is the prelude of God's pleasure and the proclamation of man's salvation. The Virgin is clearly made manifest in the temple of God and foretells Christ to all. Let us also cry out to her with mighty voice, "Hail, fulfillment of the Creator's dispensation." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Katherine the Great Martyr of Alexandria
Let us praise the most auspicious bride of Christ, the divine Katherine, protectress of Sinai, our aid and our help. For, she brilliantly silenced the eloquence of the impious by the sword of the spirit, and now, crowned as a martyr, she asks great mercy for all. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
As the deliverer of captives,
and the protector of the poor;
A physician of the sick,
the defender of kings;
O Great Martyr Saint George Victorious,
intercede to Christ our God,
to save our souls.

Kontakion
Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber and Virgin, the sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord, bringing the grace of the Divine Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She is the heavenly tabernacle. - Translation by Narthex Press
He who has conquered this passion has cut out care; but he who is bound by it never attains to pure prayer …
