The Women purchased Myrrh for Thy
Burial, and they went to Thy Tomb
very early in the morning. They
feared the Judeans’ overt hostility,
and envisioned the soldiers’ secure
guarding. And yet their weak nature
prevailed over manliness, for their
sympathetic sentiments were
pleasing to God. Opportunely they
shouted: “Arise, O Lord, and help us.
And Deliver us for Thy Name’s sake!”
Now and ever, and to the Ages of

Thou art Supremely Glorified, O Virgin
Theotokos; we sing Thy Praise. For
by means of Thy Son’s Crucifixion
has Hades been overthrown and
Death itself has died. We have Risen,
who once were dead, and have been
made worthy of Life. We received
the original enjoyment of Paradise.
And therefore, with Thanksgiving,
we send up Glory to Christ our God,
because He is Powerful and alone
Merciful.
After the Passion, O Christ God, the
Women went to the Tomb to Anoint
Thy Body, and they beheld Angels in
the Sepulchre, and were amazed.
For they heard them saying that the
Lord has Risen and granted the
world Great Mercy.
ANTIPHON 1 The eyes of my heart are
raised towards Heaven, to Thee, O
Saviour. Save me by Thine
Illumination.
Christ, have Mercy upon us who
transgress against Thee in many
ways and in every hour. Before our
end, give us the means of a
Repentance acceptable to Thee.
✞Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, now and
ever, and to the Ages of Ages.

✞The Holy Spirit is sovereign; He
Governs and Sanctifies Creation. For
He is God, Co-Substantial with the

Then, as they were afraid and bowed
their faces to the earth, they said to
them:“Why do you seek the Living
among the dead? He is not here,
but is Risen!
“Remember how He spoke to you
when He was still in Galilee, saying:
‘The Son of Man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the
Third Day Rise again.’”
And they remembered His Words, and
returning from the Tomb they told
all these things to the Eleven and to
all the rest.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary,
the Mother of James, and the other
women with them, who told these
things to the Apostles.
And their words seemed to them like
idle tales, and they did not believe
them.
Peter rose up and ran to the Tomb;
and stooping down, he saw the
Linen Cloths lying by themselves;
and he departed, marvelling to
himself at what had happened.
In saying: “Rejoice!” to the
Myrrhbearers, Thou allayed the
lament of the First Mother, Eve, at
Thy Resurrection, O Christ our God.
And Thou ordered Thy Apostles to
proclaim: “THE SAVIOUR HAS RISEN
FROM THE TOMB!”
O Saviour, as the Myrrhbearers were on
their way to Thy Tomb, they
wondered to themselves and said:
“Who will role the stone away from
the Tomb for us?” and looking up,
they saw that the stone had been
rolled away. They were amazed by
the sight of the Angel and His Robe.
Trembling overwhelmed them and
they considered fleeing. Then the

standing by the Grave cried: Myrrh is
fitting for the dead, but Christ has

ASCENSION DAY
Although Thou descended in the
grave, O Immortal One, yet Thou
destroyed the power of Hades; and
Thou arose as Victor, O Christ our
God! To the Myrrh-bearing Women
Thou said: Rejoice! And to Thine
Apostles Thou granted Thy Peace:

The Lord Chastened and corrected me,
but He did not give me up to Death.
