✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Since Thou art the True Peace of God to
mankind, O Christ, Thou granted
Thy peace to Thy Disciples after Thy
Resurrection when Thou saw them
frightened by what they thought to
be a spirit. But Thou removed the
anxiety of their souls when Thou
showed them Thy Hands and Feet;
and yet they still doubted. But when
Thou partook of food with them,
reminding them of Thy preaching,
Thou opened their minds to
understand the Scriptures. And
Thou made the Eternal Covenant
with them, Blessed them and then
ascended into Heaven. Wherefore,
with them, we worship Thee. O
Lord, Glory be to Thee!
✞ Most Blessed art Thou, O Virgin
Theotokos: for through Him Who
became Incarnate of Thee, Hell is led
captive, Adam is recalled from the
dead, the curse is made void, Eve is
set free, Death is slain, and we have
been endowed with Life. Wherefore
we cry aloud, extolling in song:
Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God,
in Whose Sight it is thus well4
pleasing. ✞ Glory to Thee!
✞ Glory to Thee Who has shown us
the Light!
✞ Glory to God in the Highest, and on

Wonders? Who will announce Thy
dread Mysteries? For, Incarnate for
us, as Thou Willed, Thou manifested
the Might of Thy Power. For on Thy
Cross Thou opened Paradise to the
Thief, and in Thy Burial Thou
smashed the bars of Hades and at
Thy Resurrection Thou made all
things rich. O Compassionate One:
Glory to Thee!
Arise, O Lord, my God, lift up Thy
Hand: do not forget Thy poor
forever.
The Myrrh4bearing Women coming to
Thy Tomb very early in the morning
sought to anoint the Immortal Word
and God; and informed by the words
of the Angel, they returned with Joy
to tell the Apostles openly that
Thou, the Life of All, has Risen and
grant the world Pardon and Thy
Great Mercy!
will give Thee thanks, O Lord, with
ta my whole heart: I will tell of all
Thy Wonders.
The guards of the Tomb that received
God said to the Jews: O the folly of
your plan! In vain did you labour
when you thought to guard the
Uncircumscribed! Openly you
appeared wishing to hide the
Resurrection of the Crucified. O the
folly of you assembly! Who do you
again wish to hide what cannot be
hidden? Listen rather to us, and be
willing to believe the Truthof the
events. A dazzling Angel came
down from Heaven and rolled away
the stone; from fear of Him, we
became as dead men; and calling out
to the brave Myrrhbearing Women,
he said: Do you not see the death of
the guards, the breaking of the seals
and the emptying of Hell? Why do
you seek as a mortal the One Who
has destroyed Hades’ victory and
smashed Death’s sting? Go quickly!
Proclaim to the Apostles the Good
Tidings of the Resurrection, crying
fearlessly: He has Risen indeed! The
Lord Who has Great Mercy!

And they told about the things that had
happened on the road, and how
Jesus was known to them by the
breaking of the bread.
Now as they said these things, Jesus
Himself stood in the midst of them,
and said to them: “Peace to you!”
But they were terrified and frightened,
and thought they had seen a spirit.
And He said to them: “Why are you
troubled? And why do doubts arise
in your hearts? Behold My Hands
and My Feet, that it is I, Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does
not have flesh and bones as you
can see I have.”
He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Feet.
Yet since they still did not believe for
Joy, and they marvelled, He said to
them:“Have you any food here?”
So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish
ke and some honeycomb. And He took
it and ate in their presence.

O Lord, having smashed the Eternal
Bars and burst bonds asunder, Thou
Rose from the Tomb, leaving Thy
grave clothes behind as evidence of
Thy True Burial for three days; and
Thou went ahead into Galilee, while
being guarded in a cave. Great is
Thy Mercy, O Saviour, beyond
understanding: have Mercy on us!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;praise
Him according to the greatness of
His Majesty.
see Thee, the Christ Who had
suffered for our sake, and
approaching, they found an Angel
seated upon the stone rolled back,
with fear but he cried out to them
and said: The Lord has Risen! Tell
His Disciples that He has Risen: He
Who Saves our souls.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
O Lord, as Thou came out of the sealed
Tomb, so Thou came in to Thy
Disciples when the doors were shut,
and showed them Thy Body’s
sufferings, which Thou had
accepted, O Long Suffering Saviour;
as sprung from David’s seed, Thou
endured stripes; as Son of God Thou
hast freed the world. Great is Thy
Mercy, O Saviour, beyond
understanding: have Mercy on us!
Enite Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and pipe
of all things, Who for us accepted
crucifixion and burial in the Flesh so
that Thou might free us all from
Hades: Thou art our God and we
know no other but Thee!
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.

preserving Thee after Birth4giving as
Thou was before it. Wherefore, we
all praise Thee in Faith, exclaiming,
Rejoice, O Mistress of the world!
Let everything that has breath praise
the Lord. Praise the Lord from the
Heavens; praise Him in the Highest.

Praise Him, all His Angels; praise Him,
all His Powers. To Thee praise is

O Lord, although the grave was sealed
by lawless men, Thou came from the
Tomb as Thou had been born from
the Theotokos; Thy Bodiless Angels
did not know how Thou had become
Incarnte, the soldiers guarding Thee
did not know when Thou Arose, for
both are sealed for those who
enquire, but the Wonders have been
revealed to those who with Faith
worship the Mystery that we hymn:
Grant us Joy and Great Mercy!
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him
in the firmament of His Power.
