Kontakion. When you come upon the earth.

Through food the foe led Adam out of Paradise; but through the Cross Christ led back in the Thief as he cried: Remember me when you come in your Kingdom. ****

Both now. **Theotokion.**

I venerate your sufferings and I glorify your Resurrection; with Adam and the Thief I cry aloud with radiant voice: Remember me, Lord, when you come in your Kingdom. ****

You were crucified, O sinless one, and willingly laid in a grave, but you arose as God; raised Adam with yourself as he cried: Remember me when you come in your Kingdom. ****

Raising the temple of your body by your burial for three days, Christ God, you raised with Adam those who came from Adam as they cried: Remember me when you come in your Kingdom. ****

Myrrhbearers came weeping to your grave, Christ God, very early in the morning, and found an Angel sitting clothed in white, who cried: What do you seek? Christ has risen, mourn no longer. ****

Your Apostles, Lord, coming to the mountain that you, O Saviour, had appointed for them, saw you and worshipped you. And you sent them out to teach the nations and baptise them.

> Let us all worship the Father and glorify the Son, and with them praise the all-holy Spirit, as we cry and say: All-holy Trinity, save us all.

> 1. Your people, O Christ, brings you your Mother to intercede; at her entreaties, O Good One, grant us your compassion, that we may glorify you, who dawned for us from the tomb.

Resurrection Apolytikion. Model Melody.

When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, and while soldiers were guarding your most pure Body, you rose, O Saviour, on the third day, giving life to the world; therefore the heavenly Powers cried out to you, Giver of life: Glory to your Resurrection, O Christ! Glory to your Kingdom! Glory to your Dispensation, only lover of mankind!

The Thief’s repentance plundered Paradise, while the Myrrhbearers’ lament disclosed that the joy that you had risen, O Christ God, granting the world your great mercy.

You rose from the tomb as God in glory, and raised the world up with you. Mortal nature sang your praise as God; death disappeared. Adam dances, Master, and Eve, now freed from her chains, rejoices as she cries: It is you, O Christ, who grant resurrection to all.
