Resurrectional Apolytikion
O Christ, the angelic powers appeared at Your tomb, the guards were as dead, and Mary stood by the sepulcher, seeking Your sacred body. You destroyed Hades yet remained untouched by it. You encountered the Virgin and through her, bestowed Life. Glory to You who has risen from the dead! -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Ascension
O Christ our God, You ascended in Glory and gladdened Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Your blessing assured them that You are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world. -Translation by Narthex Press

Festal Apolytikion
Most glorified art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast established our Fathers as luminous stars upon the earth, and through them didst guide us all to the true Faith. O Most Merciful One, glory be to Thee. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA

Apolytikion of the Church
Apolytikion of the Feast of the Holy Cross

Save, O Lord, save Your people, and bless Your inheritance. Grant victory to their rulers over their enemies; and protect Your commonwealth by the power of Your Cross.

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." -Translation by Narthex Press
