Resurrectional Apolytikion
Christ is risen from the dead, by death trampling down death, and to those in the tombs bestowing life.

Festal Apolytikion
When they who were with Mary came, anticipating the dawn, and found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, they heard from the Angel: Why seek ye among the dead, as though He were mortal man, Him Who abideth in everlasting light? Behold the grave-clothes. Go quickly and proclaim to the world that the Lord is risen, and hath put death to death. For He is the Son of God, Who saveth the race of men. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA

Apolytikion for The Elevation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross
Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance, granting our rulers to prevail over adversaries, and protecting Your commonwealth by Your Cross. -Translation by Narthex Press

Kontakion
Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades' power, and You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women, "Hail!" and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up the fallen. -Translation by Narthex Press
