Apolytikion for Holy Ascension
You ascended in glory O Christ Our Lord and God, and Your disciples were filled with joy, by the promise of the Holy Spirit unto them. And through this blessing You did proclaim and thus assure them, that You are truly the Son of God and the redeemer of the world. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the Second Tone
When the angelic powers appeared at your tomb and those who guarded You became as though dead, and standing by Your sepulchre was Mary seeking Your pure and sacred body. For You did vanquish Hades and uncorrupted by its touch You came unto the virgin woman, bestowing the gift of life O You who rose from the dead. Lord we give glory to You. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion for Holy Ascension
You ascended in glory O Christ Our Lord and God, and Your disciples were filled with joy, by the promise of the Holy Spirit unto them. And through this blessing You did proclaim and thus assure them, that You are truly the Son of God and the redeemer of the world. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion for Fathers of the 1st Council
You are greatly glorified, O Christ our God, who established our Fathers as luminaries upon the earth, and through them led us all to the true Faith. O Most compassionate, glory to You. - copyright Narthex Press and used by permission. All rights reserved.

Apolytikion of the Church
In giving birth, you did retain your virginity, in your repose, you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos, you have passed into life, you that are the Mother of Life, and by your intercessions you redeem, you redeem our souls from death.

Kontakion
O Christ our God, upon fulfilling Your dispensation for our sake, You ascended in Glory, uniting the earthly with the heavenly. You were never separate but remained inseparable, and cried out to those who love You, "I am with you and no one is against you." - copyright Narthex Press and used by permission.
