APOLYTIKION OF THE RESURRECTION, FIRST TONE. When the stone had
been sealed by the Jews and the soldiers were guarding Thine immaculate Body, Thou

Christ. Glory to Thy Kingdom. Glory to Thy dispensation, O only Friend of
man.
APOLYTIKION OF YPAPANTI, FIRST TONE. Rejoice, thou who art full
of grace, O Virgin Theotokos, for form thee hath risen the Sun of Righteousness,
Christ our God, enlightening those in darkness. Rejoice, thou also, O righteous
Elder, as thou receives in thine arms the Redeemer of our souls, Who also granteth
unto us the Resurrection.
APOLYTIKION OF THE DORMITION, FIRST TONE. In giving birth, thou didst preserve thy
virginity; in thy dormition, thou didst not forsake the world, O Theotokos. Thou wast translated unto
life, since thou art the Mother of Life; and by thine intercessions dost thou redeem our souls from
death.
KONTAKION OF THE YPAPANTI, FIRST TONE. Thou Who didst sanctify the Virgin's womb
by Thy birth, and didst bless Symeon's hands as was meet, by anticipation hast even now saved us, O
Christ God. But grant peace in the midst of wars unto Thy commonwealth and strengthen the hierarchs
whom Thou hast loved, O only Friend of man.
