Resurrectional Apolytikion Grave Tone
You have destroyed death by Your Cross. You have opened Paradise to the thief. You have changed the lamentation of the Myrrh-bearers into joy and to Your Apostles You have commanded to proclaim that You are risen, O Christ our God, granting the world the great mercy.

Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple
Today is the prelude of God's pleasure and the proclamation of man's salvation. The Virgin is clearly made manifest in the temple of God and foretells Christ to all. Let us also cry out to her with mighty voice, "Hail, fulfillment of the Creator's dispensation."

Apolytikion of the Church
The incarnate Angel and the Prophets' summit and boast, the second fore-runner of the coming of Christ, Elias, the glorious, from above he has sent down his grace upon Elisha; he doth cast out sickness and also doth cleanse the lepers; and unto all that honor him, streams of cures he poureth forth.

Kontakion
Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber and Virgin, the sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord, bringing the grace of the Divine Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She is the heavenly tabernacle.
