Sung at the Small Entrance
Εν εκκλησίαις ευλουείτε τον Θεόν, Κύριον εκ πηυών Ισλαήλ. Σώσον ημάς,Υιέ Θεού, ο Αναστάς εκ νεκρών, ψάλλαντας Σοι\, Aλληλούια.
In places of congregation bless God, the Lord, / from the springs of Israel. / Save us O Son of God,/ who rose from the dead,/ to You we sing alleluia.


Today's Resurrectional Hymn (Third Tone)
Ευραινέσθω τά ουράνια, αγαλλιάσθω τά επίγεια, ότι εποίησε κράτος εν βραχίονι αυτού ο Κύριος• επάτησε τώ θανάτω τόν θάνατον• πρωτότοκος τών νεκρών εγένετο, εκ κοιλίας Άδου ερρύσατο ημάς, καί παρέσχε τώ κόσμω τό μέγα έλεος.
Let all the things above in heaven rejoice and let all things below on earth be glad. With all the might and strength of His arm an eternal deed the Lord did perform. Beneath His feet He has trampled down death by death, and first born of the dead has He become. From the womb of Hades has He delivered us, and to all the world has granted His great redeeming mercy.


Hymn of our Church, for St. Paul (4th tone)
Ethnos se kirika ke fostira trismegiston, Athineon didaskalon ekoumenis aglaisma, efrosinos gereromen tous agonas timomen ke tas vasanous thriahiston, to septon sou martirion, Agie Paule, Apostole, presveve Christo to Theo, sothine tas psichas imon.
O preacher to the gentiles and thrice grandest shining star, the Athenians teacher and the universe ornament, we joyously honor you. We pay homage to the struggles that you had for sake of Christ, and your dignified martyrdom.Holy and glorious Apostle Paul. Intercede with Christ our God, entreating Him to save our souls.

Kontakion of Pascha
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.
