AT MATINS
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
After the first Reading from the Psalter, Kathisma of the Forefeast.
A day of joy has now come for the faithful, day of the divine, and glorious Transfiguration of Christ our God. So let us all be made radiant to glorify worthily in songs inspired his mighty works, by which, shining out as God, he enlightened the world.
Tone 4. Speedily anticipate.
Tone 1. The soldiers watching.
Glory. Both. The same.
Let all of us believers go up to Mount Thabor together with Christ’s chosen Disciples, and let us in mind contemplate his Transfiguration, and let us glorify his supreme condescension towards us, through which he grants the world eternal life.
After the second Reading, Kathisma.
Then the Canons of the Forefeast and of the Saint.
