Resurrectional Apolytikion Grave Tone
O Lord by Your sacred Cross You abolished death, and granted unto the thief blessed paradise. The Myrrh-bearers ceased lamenting and turned to joy. The apostles did preach the Good News at Your command, that You had risen from the dead O Christ Our God, bestowing Your mercy upon the world ever more. - Translation from Green Hymnal

THE MOTHER OF GOD

Julius Caesar ruled much of the world and named the fifth Roman month, July, after himself. He was betrayed and assassinated in the Senate and then replaced by his adopted son, Octavius. Octavius, who ruled as Caesar Augustus, ruled an even greater Roman Empire than Julius. He would be outdone in no way, giving the sixth month his own name: Augustus.

This decision indeed gave the month an air of royalty. ...Read Full Text >
