with Sacred Song, for He Glorified his memory.

The Righteous shall flourish like a

Palm Tree – he shall be multiplied like the Cedar in Lebanon.

O Faithful, let us now unite and with one voice extol that valiant heavily armed Soldier of the Heavenly Army, St Theodore – the strong hoplite of our Faith – singing Mystical Oes to him: ‘Martyr of Jesus, Thou art worthy of awe!’

Those who are planted in the House of

the Lord shall flourish in the Courts of our God.

By Thy Great Feats as a Martyr, Thou amassed in Thyself the Holy Wealth and Brilliance of Orthodox Doctrine. Thou gave all Thy Might as an acceptable Gift to God, O Saint Theodore. And in Thy Contests Thou truly fulfilled Thy name that means ‘a Gift to God.’

> Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit

Truly, the Women came at early dawn to Thy Tomb, O Christ, yet they did not find Thy Body, so precious to them.

And while they were perplexed, behold! there stood amidst them those in shining clothes who said : Why do you seek the Living among the dead? He has Risen as He foretold. Why have you forgotten His Words? And being assured by these words, they preached to the Disciples the Things they had witnessed. But their Glad Tidings were received with ridicule; for they were still without Understanding. But Peter hastened to behold, and Glorified Thy Wonders in himself.

The Lord is God, and has appeared to

VERSE 1: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is Good; His Mercy endures forever!



VERSE 2: All the nations surrounded me, but in the Name of the Lord I drove them back.

When the Women Disciples of the Lord

had learnt from the Angels the Glad Tidings of the Resurrection that had cast away the condemnation of their Forefather, they spoke exultingly to the Apostles: Death is no more: Christ-God is Risen, granting to the world Great Mercy.

By Thy Cross, O Christ, Thou hast freed us from the ancient Curse, and by Thy Death Thou hast destroyed the devil who tyrannised over our nature, by Thy Rising Thou hast filled all things with Joy: Therefore we cry to Thee: Lord, Risen from the dead: Glory to Thee!

Praise Him with timbrel and dance;

praise Him with strings and pipe

With Thy Cross, Christ Saviour, guide

us to Thy Truth, and deliver us from the snares of the foe; Risen from the dead, raise us who have fallen through sin by stretching our Thy Hand, O Lord, at the Prayers of Thy Saints.

Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;

praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Only Begotten Word of God: without being parted from the Father’s Bosom, Thou came on earth through Love for mankind, becoming Man without change, and althou impassible in Thy Godhead, Thou endured Cross and Death in the Flesh; but Risen from the dead, Thou granted the human race Immortality, as Thou alone art All Powerful!

Let us gleam - shining with Virtues - and behold the Man standing in brilliant clothes inside the Tomb, granting Life to the downcast Myrrh-bearers. Let us learn of the Resurrection of the Lord of Heaven and hasten with Peter to the Tomb and wonder at the Great Happening - waiting to behold Christ the Life.

Thou now provide abundantly Healings and Cures as Gifts of Grace to everyone who Entreats Thee, O Saint Theodore, Medal-winner. And since Thou speak with confidence whenever Thou address the Lord, Thou come to the assistance and rescue of those who pray to Thee with Ardent Faith, O All Blessed One.

O Lady, Pure and Undefiled, Thou carried in Thine Arms the Lord Who with His Pure Hand established all things, and by It controls them. O Blessed Maiden, pray to Him to rescue me out of the grip of that most beguiling drago who shamelessly convulses my poor heart with soul-destroying pleasures.

Beyond the power of thought,

exceedingly glorious are all Thy Mysteries, O Birth-giver of God; sealed in purity and preserved in Virginity, Thou art acknowledged to be, in very Truth, the Mother who brought forth the True God; wherefore entreat Him so that our souls may be Saved.

Amin

As they looked at the entrance of the Tomb and were unable to endure the bright Flame of the Angel, the Myrrhbearers trembled with amazement and said: Can the One Who opened Paradise to the Thief have been stolen? Can He Who before His Passion proclaimed His Rising, having been Raised? Truly Christ God has Risen, granting those in Hades Life and Resurrection.



Of Thine own Will, O Saviour, Thou endured the Cross, and mortals laid in a new tomb the One Who established the ends of earth through a Word; therefore, the alien was bound, Death terribly despoiled and all those in Hades cried aloud at Thy Life-bearing Rising: Christ, the Giver of Life, has Risen and abides unto the Ages!

Now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

Amen

O Theotokos, through Thee was revealed to us on earth, the Mystery, which was hidden from Eternity, and which the Angels themselves knew not: that God, uniting Natures without confusion, became Man and accepted crucifixion voluntarily for our Salvation; by virtue of which Resurrecting mankind whom He had first created, He Saved our souls from Death.

Thou Arose from Hades as Immortal, O Saviour, and raised Thy world with Thee by Thy Resurrection, Christ our God. With Strength Thou broke the might of Death, and revealed the Resurrection to all, O Merciful: therefore, we also Glorify Thee, Only Lover of mankind!



Coming down from the Heights Above, Gabriel approached the rock where the Rock of Life had lain, and clothed in white he cried aloud to the weeping women: Cease your cries of lamentation! Now your have Compassion forever! Take courage, for the One you seek weeping has truly Risen! Therefore, proclaim to the Apostles that the Lord had Risen!

Now and ever, and to the ages of

As we celebrate this Sacred and Solemn Feast of the Theotokos, let us come, clapping our hands, O people of the Lord, and Glorifying God Who was Born of her.

ODEODEODEODE 7777

The Holy Children bravely trampled upon the threatening fire, preferring not to worship created things rather than the Creator, and they sang in Joy: “Blessed art Thou and praised above all: O Lord God of our Fathers!”

>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 ye Works of the Lord: Bless ye the Lord and exalt Him above all forever!”

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the Tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

But they found the stone rolled away from the Tomb. Then they went in and did not find the Body of Lord Jesus.

And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two Men stood by them in shining Garments.

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

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary,1 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.

But 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.
