O Lord, although the grave was sealed

by lawless men, Thou came from

the Tomb as Thou had been born

from the Theotokos; Thy Bodiless

Angels did not know how Thou had

become Incarnte, the soldiers

guarding Thee did not know when

Thou Arose, for both are sealed for

those who enquire, but the

Wonders have been revealed to

those who with Faith worship the

Mystery that we hymn: Grant us

Joy and Great Mercy!

Praise God in His Saints; praise Him

in the firmament of His Power.

O Lord, having smashed the Eternal Bars and burst bonds asunder,

Thou Rose from the Tomb, leaving

Thy grave clothes behind as

evidence of Thy True Burial for

three days; and Thou went ahead

into Galilee, while being guarded in

a cave. Great is Thy Mercy, O

Saviour, beyond understanding:

have Mercy on us!

Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;

praise Him according to the greatness of His Majesty.

O Lord, the Women ran to Thy Tomb

to see Thee, the Christ Who had

suffered for our sake, and

approaching, they found an Angel

seated upon the stone rolled back,

with fear but he cried out to them

and said: The Lord has Risen! Tell

His Disciples that He has Risen: He

Who Saves our souls.

Praise Him with the sound of the

trumpet; praise Him with lute and harp.

So Peter arose 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.

Now behold, two of them were travelling that same day to a

village called Emmaus, which was

seven miles from Jerusalem.

And they discussed together all these things that had happened.

So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew

near and went with them.

But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognise Him.

And He said to them: “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?”

Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him:

“Art Thou the only Stranger in Jerusalem, and does Thou not know the things that have happened

there in these days?”

And He said to them: “What things?” So they said to Him: “The things

concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word before God and all the people, and how the Chief Priests and our Rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.

“But we were hoping that it was He Who was going to redeem Israel.

“Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things

happened.

“Yes, and certain Women of our

company, who arrived at the Tomb early, astonished us. When they did not find His Body, they came saying that they had also seen a Vision of Angels who said He was alive!

“And certain of those who were with

us went to the Tomb and found it just as the women had said; but

Him they did not see.”

Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the Prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His Glory?”

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in

all the Scriptures the Things

concerning Himself.

Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He

indicated that He would have gone

further. But they constrained Him,

saying: “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far

spent.”

And He went in to stay with them. Now it came to pass, as He sat at the

table with them, that He took

bread, Blessed and broke it, and

gave it to them.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognised Him; and He vanished

from their sight.

And they said to one another: “Did not our hearts burn within us while He spoke with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

And they arose that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found

the Eleven and those who were

with them gathered together,

saying: “The Lord is Risen indeed,

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!”
