Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the First Tone
O Faithful, let us sing a hymn of praise and worship to the Logos, coeternal with the Father and the Spirit, who was born of the Virgin for our salvation.

O Christ our God, begging forgiveness of our sins, we venerate Your Pure Image, O Good One.

Wherefore, thankfully, we cry out, "When You came to save the world, Your filled all things with joy, O Our Savior." - Copyright Narthex Press, used by permission. All rights reserved

Liberator of captives, defender of the poor, physician of the sick, and champion of kings, O trophy-bearer Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion
To you, Theotokos, invincible Defender, having been delivered from peril, I, your city, dedicate the victory festival as a thank offering.

Ecumenical Patriarch Issues Catechetical Homily for Holy and Great Lent
