Resurrection Hymn Christ is risen from the dead, By death, trampling down upon death, And to those in the tombs He has granted life. Hristos anesti ek nekron, Thanato thanaton patisas, ke tis en tis mnimasi, Zoin harisamenos.
Entrance Hymn In congregations, bless God the Lord From the wellsprings of Israel. Save us O Son of God, Who did rise from the dead; We sing to You: Alleluia
Resurrectional Apolytikion (Tone Four)
The joyful news of Your Resurrection was proclaimed By the angel to the women disciples, Having thrown off the curse that fell on Adam, They ran elatedly to tell the Apostles: Death has been vanquished; Christ our God is risen from the dead, Blessing all the world with His great mercy.
Apolytikion for the Feast
O Lord, midway through the Feast, Give drink to my thirsty soul from the waters of true religion. For to all You the Savior cried aloud, Let whoever is thirsty come to Me and drink. As the Fountain of life, O Christ our God, glory to You.
Church Hymn (Troparion of Pentecost) Blessed are You O Christ our God Who has shown the fishermen as wise men By sending down Your Holy Spirit upon them And through them, the whole world You drew into Your net O Lover of mankind, glory to You. Evlogitos i Hriste O Theos imon, O Pansofous tous aliis anadixas, katapempsas aftis to Pnevma to agion, ke thi afton tin ikoumenin saginefsas Filanthrope doxa Si.
Pascha Kontakion Into the grave You descended Immortal One, And yet the power of Hades have You destroyed! And as Victor You did arise, O Christ Our God, To the women who came bearing myrrh, You proclaimed, "Rejoice!" and You granted Your Apostles the gift of peace, And have bestowed, on the fallen, resurrection.
Dismissal Priest: Christ is risen from the dead, by death trampling down
upon death, and to those in the tombs, He has granted life.
All: Truly the Lord is risen!

EPISTLE READING: Acts of the Apostles 11:19-30 IN THOSE DAYS, those apostles who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord. News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose; for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul; and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians. Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabos stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world; and this took place in the days of Claudius. And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea, and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
GOSPEL READING: The Gospel According to St. John 4:5-42
