The Typika and the Beatitudes.

Both now. Theotokion.

**8.** The Thief on the cross, believing you to be God, O Christ, confessed you sincerely from his heart, crying, ‘Remember me, Lord, in your kingdom!’

Resurrection Apolytikion.

**7.** Let us in harmony praise as Saviour and Master him who flowered with life for our race on the tree of the Cross, and withered up the curse that came from the tree.

Resurrection Kontakion.

**6.** By your death, O Christ, you destroyed the power of death, and raised up those who were dead from every age, who praise you as the true God and our Saviour.

**5. The holy women, as they came to your grave, were seeking to anoint you, the Giver of life, and an Angel appeared to them crying, ‘The Lord has risen!’**

**4. When you were crucified, O Christ, between two condemned thieves, the one blaspheming you was justly condemned, but the other, confessing you, dwelt in Paradise.**

**3.** The holy women as they came to the choir of Apostles cried out, ‘Christ has risen! Let us worship him as Master and Creator’.

**2.** O Trinity, undivided Unity, creator of all and all-powerful, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we hymn you as the true God and our Saviour.

**1.** Hail, living Temple of God, Gate through which none may pass! Hail, Throne unburned and formed of fire! Hail Mother of Emmanuel, Christ our God!

Let us believers praise and worship the Word, who like the Father and the Spirit is without beginning, born from a Virgin for our salvation; for he was well-pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh, to undergo death, and to raise those who had died in his glorious Resurrection.

You descended into Hell, my Saviour, and having smashed the gates as all-powerful, as Creator you raised the dead with you and smashed the sting of death, O Christ, and as Lover of mankind delivered Adam from the curse. Therefore we all cry to you, ‘Save us, O Lord!’
