Ode 1. Tone 1.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
The wondrous and honoured pair, enlightened by the grace of the sovereign Trinity, gushing forth unending streams, grants remedies to all those who approach with faith.
Initiated by the life-bearing words, the All-blest saints shone out like beacons in the world, easily dispersing the fog of the passions with the fervour of the faith.
Obedient to the Saviour’s law, the holy saints laid aside all sensuality of the flesh, while making their souls most clearly radiant with virtues; and were famed in the world.
Dwelling in your womb, Mother of God, the Son, who shone from the Father and beyond time is above all gods, clothed himself in entire humanity; let us sing his praise, for he has been glorified.
