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 Grave Tone
Κατέλυσας τώ Σταυρώ σου τόν θάνατον• ηνέωξας τώ ληστή τόν Παράδεισον• τών Μυροφόρων τόν θρήνον μετέβαλες• καί τοίς σοίς Αποστόλοις κηρύττειν επέταξας• ότι ανέστης Χριστέ ο Θεός, παρέχων τώ κόσμω τό μέγα έλεος.
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 evermore.


Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Entry 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
