Apolytikion for Great and Holy Pascha
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death, and bestowing life on those in the graves. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Great and Holy Pascha
They who were with Mary came before the dawn, and finding the stone rolled away from the sepulcher, heard the Angel say unto them; Why seek Him as man amongst the dead, Who dwells in light eternal: Behold the grave wrappings; make haste and declare to the world that the Lord is Risen, and has caused death to die; for He is the Son of God, the Savior of mankind.

Kontakion
Into the grave you descended, Immortal One, yet you destroyed the power of Hades, and as victor you arose, O Christ our God; you proclaimed to the myrrh-bearing women a greeting of joy, you brought peace to your holy apostles, and to the fallen you granted resurrection.
