TROPARIA SUNG AFTER THE<br />
ENTRANCE OF THE HOLY GOSPEL<br />
Resurrectional Apolytikion<br />
When You descended unto Death, O Lord,<br />
You who are immortal Life put Hades to<br />
death, by the lightning of Your divinity.<br />
And when You raised the dead from the<br />
netherworld, all the hosts of heaven sang<br />
aloud to You, "O Christ God, Giver of life,<br />
glory to You!"<br />
For the Fathers<br />
Supremely blessed are You, O Christ our God. You<br />
established the holy Fathers upon the earth as beacons,<br />
and through them You have guided us all to the<br />
true Faith, O greatly merciful One, glory be to You.<br />
Apolytikion of St. Catherine<br />
Let us praise the most auspicious bride of<br />
Christ, the divine Katherine, protectress of Sinai,<br />
our aid and our help. For, she brilliantly<br />
silenced the eloquence of the impious by the<br />
sword of the spirit, and now, crowned as a martyr,<br />
she asks great mercy for all.<br />
Apolytikion of the Church<br />
Ιn giving birth, you did preserve your virginity;<br />
in your dormition you did not forsake<br />
the world O Theotokos. You were<br />
translated onto life, since you were the<br />
Mother of life; And by your intercessions do<br />
you redeem our souls from death.<br />
Kontakion<br />
O Protection of Christians that never falls,<br />
intercession with the Creator that never<br />
fails, we sinners beg you, do not ignore the<br />
voices of our prayers. O good Lady, we implore<br />
you, quickly come unto our aid, when<br />
we cry out to you with faith. Hurry to intercession,<br />
and hasten to supplication, O Theotokos<br />
who protect now and ever those who<br />
honor you.<br />
ΤΡΟΠΑΡΙΑ ΨΑΛΛΟΜΕΝΑ ΜΕΤΑ ΤΗΝ<br />
ΕΙΣΟΔΟ ΤΟΥ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΥ<br />
Αναστάσιμον Απολυτίκιον<br />
Ὅτε κατῆλθες πρὸς τὸν θάνατον, ἡ ζωὴ ἡ<br />
ἀθάνατος, τότε τὸν ᾅδην ἐνέκρωσας, τῇ<br />
ἀστραπῇ τῆς θεότητος· ὅτε δὲ καὶ τοὺς<br />
τεθνεῶτας, ἐκ τῶν καταχθονίων<br />
ἀνέστησας, πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν<br />
ἐπουρανίων ἐκραύγαζον· Ζωοδότα<br />
Χριστέ, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν δόξα σοι.<br />
Των Πατέρων<br />
Ὑπερδεδοξασμένος εἶ, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ<br />
φωστῆρας ἐπὶ γῆς τοὺς Πατέρας ἡμῶν<br />
θεμελιώσας, καὶ διʼ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὴν ἀληθινὴν<br />
πίστιν, πάντας ἡμᾶς ὁδηγήσας·<br />
πολυεύσπλαγχνε, δόξα σοι.<br />
Απολυτίκιον της Αγίας Αικατερίνης<br />
Τήν πανεύφημον νύμφην Χριστού<br />
υμνήσωμεν, Αικατερίναν τήν θείαν καί<br />
πολιούχον Σινά, τήν βοήθειαν ημών καί<br />
αντίληψιν, ότι εφίμωσε λαμπρώς, τούς<br />
κομψούς τών ασεβών, τού Πνεύματος τή<br />
μαχαίρα, καί νύν ως Μάρτυς στεφθείσα,<br />
αιτείται πάσι τό μέγα έλεος.<br />
Απολυτίκιον του Ναού<br />
Εν τη γεννήσει την παρθενίαν εφύλαξας, εν τη<br />
κοιμήσει τον κόσμον ου κατέλιπες, Θεοτόκε.<br />
μετέστης προς την ζωήν, Μήτηρ υπάρχουσα<br />
της ψυχής και ταις πρεσβείαις ταις σαις<br />
λυτρουμένη εκ θανάτου τας ψυχάς ημών.<br />
Κοντάκιον<br />
Προστασία τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἀκαταίσχυντε,<br />
μεσιτεία, πρὸς τὸν Ποιητὴν ἀμετάθετε, μὴ<br />
παρίδῃς, ἁμαρτωλῶν δεήσεων φωνάς, ἀλλὰ<br />
πρόφθασον, ὡς ἀγαθή, εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν,<br />
τῶν πιστῶς κραυγαζόντων σοι· Τάχυνον εἰς<br />
πρεσβείαν, καὶ σπεῦσον εἰς ἱκεσίαν, ἡ<br />
προστατεύουσα ἀεί, Θεοτόκε, τῶν τιμώντων<br />
σε.
