Resurrectional exapostilarion; Glory…, of the saints —
Irmos: O Theotokos, thou uttermost limit of virginity, who dost exalt thy feast with thy grace, with thy mystic visitation dost now adorn thereon those who magnify thee now in the virginal memory of thy Word.
On the Praises, 4 stichera of the Resurrection, and 4 of the saints —
Theotokion: O Virgin full of grace, who hast enriched our cities and villages with the images of thy precious countenance, as with traces of sweet fragrance: Accept our thanks, and deliver our homeland from cruel misfortunes; for we all magnify thee as the almighty protection of our land.
O venerable Seraphim, our joy! We honor thy great struggles and labors in the wilderness, and thy teaching, whereby thou didst enlighten many who came to thee and didst teach them to hymn the Trinity One in essence.
In Tone I: Thou didst send Thy Spirit, O Lord, to the wise soul of Prince Vladimir, that he might know Thee, the one God in Trinity. Wherefore, having enlightened Thy chosen people, entrusted to him by Thee, Thou broughtest them into Thy Church with faith, chanting: O our Deliverer, glory be to Thee!
Now & ever…: Resurrectional theotokion.
O holy hierarch Joasaph of Belgorod, who by thy pious life hast provided a rule of faith and a model of loving-kindness for all: Pray thou unceasingly to the Lord, that He establish the right Faith, peace and piety in the realm of Russia.
In Tone II: Assembling together, let us bless the beacons of the land of Russia, the all-praised martyrs, the holy hierarchs, our enlighteners and the foundation of our faith, the venerable dwellers in the wilderness and instructors in piety, crying out to them: O ye venerable, ye martyrs, ye righteous, and all ye saints of Russia, entreat Christ God, that He grant us great mercy!
Glory…, the Evangelical Sticheron. Now & ever…: Theotokion: All-blessed art thou, O Virgin Theotokos…
O holy hierarch and martyr Joseph, the city of Astrakhan and all the lands of the Volga honor and boast in thee, who suffered cruelly for righteousness at the hands of godless rebels.
Stichos: The righteous cried, and the Lord heard them.
Glory to Thee, O God, Who hast revealed to us Thy wondrous favorite Herman. By his supplications preserve us from every assault of the enemy and from soul-corrupting passions, and guide us to every good thing, that, escaping everlasting torment, we may attain unto Thy kingdom.
O venerable fathers, the spiritual blossoms of the Russian land, our boast and confirmation, and a right calm haven for all were ye; for, having acquired you as an inexhaustible treasure, our land doth boast in you. And now, even though your bodily tongues have fallen silent, yet do miracles bear witness that the Lord hath glorified you. Him do ye entreat, that He grant our souls great mercy.
O, the new passion-bearers! They launched a campaign against wickedness, taking up the Faith of Christ as a shield against the teachings of this world, and providing us with a worthy model of forbearance and the endurance of evil.
Stichos: Blessed are those who fear the Lord, that walk in His ways.
O, the steadfastness and courage of the company of the martyrs of Christ, who were slain for Christ! For they have adorned the Orthodox Church, and in their own country have given their blood as the seed of faith; and with all the saints they are worthily honored.
In Tone IV: Having listened to the voice of the Gospel and become enflamed with apostolic zeal, ye made haste to teach the unbelieving heathen, O divinely blessed Kuksha, Leontius, Stephen and Gurius, equals of the apostles, and thou, O right-wondrous Innocent, apostle of the great land of Siberia and initiator of the enlightenment of the new lands beyond the sea. Wherefore, as is meet, with all the others who have labored in spreading the Gospel of Christ, ye are called blessed.
O our great fathers, known by name and unknown, revealed and hidden, who have attained unto the heavenly Sion and have received much glory from God: Ask consolation for us the sorrowful; raise up our land, which hath fallen, and gather its scattered people, accepting as a gift from us this hymn of thanksgiving.
Triadicon: O All-holy Trinity, accept as first-fruits, as choice incense, all the saints which Russia hath offered Thee, of old and in recent times, known and unknown; and by their supplications preserve it from all harm.
In hymns let us praise the never-waning luminaries of the land of Russia, the initiates of the mysteries of the Word, glorifying Christ Who hath enlightened and loveth them, and hath given them to us as helpers amid sorrows.
Great Doxology. And after the Trisagion, the troparion of the resurrection alone.
