It is the Day of the Resurrection. Let us shine brightly for the Festival, and also embrace one another. Brethren, let us say even to those who hate us: “Let us forgive everything for the Resurrection.” And thus let us cry aloud: “Christ is Risen from the dead, by Death trampling down upon Death, and to those in the tombs He has granted Life.”

Christ has Risen from the dead, by

Death trampling upon Death, and has bestowed Life to those in the tombs! (3)

When all the lights in the Church have been switched off and the lamps extinguished,

the Priest opens the Royal Gates and exits with a lit candles, exclaiming the

wonderful words:

T O N E ( 5 ) P L A G A L 1

Defte lavete Fos ek tou anesperou Fotos!

Ke Doxasate Hriston ton Anastanta ek nekron!

Come, receive the Light, from the Never

Setting Light! And Glorify Christ Who has Risen from the dead!

The Choir repeats this Hymn twice, while everyone lights their candles from each

other’s lit candle.

The Priest chants the following and the Choir repeats as often as necessary as

everyone exits the Church for the Service outside:

And they said among themselves: “Who

will roll away the stone from the door of the Tomb for us?”

And when they looked up, they saw

that the stone had been rolled away - for it was very large.

And entering the Tomb, they saw a

young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

He said to them: “Do not be alarmed.

You seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

“So go, tell His Disciples - and Peter - that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

And they went out quickly and fled

from the Tomb, trembling and amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

PEOPLE >Glory to Thee, O Lord: Glory

to Thee!

Consubstantial, and Life-giving, and Undivided Trinity, always, now and forever, and to the Ages of ages.

revealed to us! A Pascha new and Holy! A Pascha Mystical! A Pascha all venerable Pasha – the Redeemer, Christ, Himself! A Pascha that is blameless! A Pascha that is Great! A Pascha of Believers! A Pascha that has opened for us the Gates of Paradise! A Pascha that Sanctifies all Believers!

Women and Heralds of Good News, and say to Zion, “Receive from us the Joyful Tidings of the Resurrection of Christ! O Jerusalem, be exultant, dance and leap for Joy, for you have witnessed Christ the King coming forth as Bridegroom from the Tomb.

So let the sinners perish from the Sight

of God, and let the Righteous be glad.

The Myrrh-bearing Women at dawn very

early, standing outside the Tomb of the Giver of Life, found an Angel who was seated upon the stone. And the Angel addressed them and said: “Why do you seek among the dead the One Who is alive? Why do you grieve as though corruptible the Incorrupt? So go back and proclaim it to His Disciples.

This is the Day the Lord made; let us

greatly rejoice and be glad therein.

Pascha of Delight! Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha! A Pascha All Venerable has risen for us! With Joy, let us embrace one another! Pascha, the Ransom from sorrow! Today from the Sepulchre Christ emerge resplendently as from a Brida Chamber, and the Women He filled with Joy, saying: Proclaim this to the Apostles!

VERSE: Christ went down alone to

battle Hades; He came up having taken many spoils of Victory!

To Him be the Glory and the

Dominion to the Ages of ages.

Amen.

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ,

let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only Sinless One. Thy Cross do we worship, O Christ, and Thy Holy Resurrection do we Hymn and Glorify. For Thou art our God. We know no other but Thee. We call upon Thy Name. Come, all the Faithful, let us worship the Holy Resurrection of Christ; for behold through the Cross, Joy has come into all the world. Ever Blessing the Lord, we extol His Resurrection. For enduring the Cross for us, He destroyed Death by Death.

Jesus, having Risen from the Tomb as

He foretold, has granted us Eternal Life and Great Mercy.

ODE 1

Resurrection Day! O people, let us

glory in splendour! Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha! For Christ our God has transported us who sing the Triumphal Hymn from death to Life and from earth to Heaven.

ODE 3

Come, let us drink a New Drink. Not

one miraculously brought forth from a barren Rock, but from the Fountain of Immortality, sprung forth from Christ’s Tomb, from which we are Edified.

ODE 4

Let the God-inspired Prophet Habakkuk keep with us the Divine Watch, and point out the Light-bearing Angels, who with a vibrant voice declared: “Today, Salvation comes to the world, for Christ has Risen as Almighty!”

ODE 5

Let us arise in the early dawn, and instead of Myrrh, offer a Hymn to the Master; and we shall see Christ,

ODE 6

Thou descended into the deepest parts

of the earth and Thou shattered everlasting bars that held fast those fettered; and on the third day, like Jonah from the whale, Thou arose from the Tomb.

ODE 7

The Only Blessed and Ever Glorious

God of our Fathers, Who Redeemed the Children from the furnace, became Man, suffered as a mortal; and through Suffering, He clothes the mortal with the Grace of Incorruption.

ODE 8

>We Praise, we Bless and we Worship

the Lord.

This is the Chosen and Holy Day, the

first of the Sabbaths, the Queen and Sovereign, the Feast of Feasts, and the Festival of Festivals, in which we Bless Christ to all Ages.

Magnify, O my soul, Him Who

willingly suffered and was buried, and arose from the Tomb on the Third Day.


the Glory of the Lord has dawned upon Thee. Rejoice now and be glad, O Zion; and Thou, O All Pure Theotokos: delight in the Resurrection of Him to Whom Thou gave Birth!
