Sung at the Small Entrance
Δεύτε προσκυνήσωμεν καί προσπέσωμεν Χριστώ. Σώσον ημάς Υιέ Θεού, ο αναστάς εκ νεκρών, ψάλλοντάς Σοι• Αλληλούια.
Come, let us worship and bow before Christ. Save us, O Son of God who rose from the dead, to You we sing: Alleluia.


Resurrectional Apolytikion Second Tone
Ότε κατήλθες πρός τόν θάνατον, η ζωή η αθάνατος, τότε τόν Άδην ενέκρωσας, τή αστραπή τής Θεότητος• ότε δέ καί τούς τεθνεώτας, εκ τών καταχθονίων ανέστησας, πάσαι αι Δυνάμεις τών επουρανίων εκραύγαζον• Ζωοδότα Χριστέ ο Θεός ημών δόξα Σοι.
When You descended to the realm of death You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant divinity. And when You from infernal depths and the darkness below did raise the dead all the hosts of heaven’s powers did proclaim and cry out O life giving Christ and our God we give glory.


Apolytikion for Luke the Evangelist
O Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins. -Translation by Narthex Press

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
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
