Let the Judeans explain: how did
the soldiers lose the King while
they were watching? And why
did the stone not guard the
Rock of Life? Either let them
surrender the One Who was
buried or worship Him Who
has Risen, saying with us:
Glory to the abundance of Thy
Mercies! O our Saviour, ✞ Glory
to Thee!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty.
Rejoice you Nations and be glad:
an Angel sat upon the Tomb
stone; he gave us Good Tidings
saying: Christ has Risen from
the dead and filled the
Universe with Sweet Fragrance.
Rejoice you Nations and be
glad!
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute
and harp.
An Angel before Thy Conception,
O Lord, brought the Greeting
‘Rejoice!’ to the One Full of
Grace. At Thy Resurrection an
Angel rolled the stone from
Thy Glorious Tomb; one
revealed the Signs of Joy

got into the boat, but that night
they caught nothing.
When the morning had come,
Jesus stood on the shore; yet
the Disciples did not know that
it was Jesus.
have you any food?”
They answered Him: “No.”
So He said to them:, “Cast the net
on the right side of the boats,
and you will find some.”
They cast the net and then they
were unable to draw it in
because of the multitude of
fish.
Therefore that Disciple whom
Jesus loved said to Peter: “It is
the Lord!”
Now when Simon Peter heard that
it was the Lord, he put on his
outer garment (for he had
removed it), and plunged into
the sea.
the other Disciples came in
the little boat (for they were
not far from land, but about
two hundred cubits), dragging
the net with fish.
Then, as soon as they had come to
land, they saw a fire of coals
there, and fish laid on it, and
bread.
Jesus said to them: “Bring some
of the fish which you have just
caught.”
Simon Peter went up and dragged
the net to land, full of large
fish, one hundred and fifty*

so many, the net had not
broken.

✞We Praise, we Bless and we
Worship the Lord!
The Offspring of the Theotokos
saved the Holy Children in the
furnace. He Who was then
prefigured has since been born
on earth, and He gathers
together all Creation to sing:
“O you Works of the Lord: Bless
the Lord and exalt Him above
all forever!”
Let every mortaL born on earth,
carrying his torch, in spirit
leap for Joy; and let the Order
of the Angelic Powers
celebrate and honour THE
HOLY FEAST of the Theotokos,
and let them cry: “Hail, All
Blessed Theotokos, Pure and
Ever Virgin!”
Verily, the two sons of Zebedee
with Peter and Nathaniel and
two others and Thomas were
fishing in the Lake of Tiberias,
who by the Command of Christ
cast the net on the right side
and drew out much fish. And
when Peter knew Him he came
unto Him swimming. This,
then, was a third Appearance of
the Lord, when He showed
them bread and fish on the live
coals.
