Apolytikion for Great and Holy Pascha
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 of St. Luke
O Holy Apostle Luke, intercede with God the All-Merciful, that He may grant us the remission of our sins.

Kontakion of Pascha
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

Kontakion
The Samaritan Woman, having come to the well in faith, beheld You, the Water of Wisdom from which she drank plentifully and inherited the Heavenly Kingdom as one who is blessed forever. -Translation by Narthex Press

May Pastoral Message
Rev. Father Christ Kontos
"He is not here, He has Risen!"

Beloved,

Prayerfully pondering what it was like for the first Apostles on the days leading up to Pascha is truly overwhelming. Those men and women who walked the pages of the New Testament that you and I have the blessing of being able to read must have been inspired, bewildered and even greatly troubled at times.
