RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE 2When Thou didst submit thyself unto death, O Thou deathless and immortal One, then Thou didst destroy hell with Thy Godly power. And when Thou didst raise the dead from beneath the earth, all the powers of heaven did cry aloud unto Thee: O Christ, Thou giver of life, glory to Thee.

APOLYTIKION OF MYRRH-BEARING WOMEN IN TONE 2Verily, the angel came to the tomb and said to the ointment-bearing women, the ointment is meet for the dead, but Christ is shown to be remote from corruption. But cry ye, The Lord is risen, granting the world the Great Mercy.

APOLYTIKION OF ST. JOSEPH IN TONE 2The pious Joseph, having brought down Thy pure body from the Tree, wrapped it in fine linen, embalmed it with ointment, provided for it, and laid it in a new tomb. But Thou didst verily rise after three days, O Lord, granting the world Great Mercy.

TROPARION OF SAINT GEORGE IN TONE 4 As deliverer of captives, as defender of the poor, healer of the infirm, champion of kings, Victorious, Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our Lord, intercede for the soul’s salvation.

KONTAKION OF PASCHA IN TONE 8Though you descended to the tomb, O immortal One, you overthrew the power of Hades. O Christ God, you rose victorious from the dead! You greeted the ointment-bearing women, gave peace to your disciples, and resurrection to those who had fallen.

The Reading from the Acts of the Saintly and Pure Apostles. (6:1-7)

In those days, when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. And the Twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaos, a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

At that time, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the Kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate wondered if He were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether Jesus was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that He was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. And he bought a linen shroud, and taking Him down, wrapped Him in the linen shroud, and laid Him in a tomb, which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where He was laid. And when the Sabbath was passed, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He has risen, He is not here; see the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His Disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

ألنه قد مات هكذا سريعا. واستدعى قائد المائة، وسأله ه��ل ل��ه زم��ان ق��د م��ات، ولما عرف من قائد المائة وهب الجسد ليوسف. فاشترى كتان��ا وأنزل��ه ولف��ه في الكتان ووضعه في قبر ك��ان منحوت��ا في ص��خرة ودح��رج حج��را على ب��اب الق��بر، وكانت مريم المجدلية ومريم أم يوسى تنظران أين وض��ع، ولم��ا انقض��ى الس��بت��ه، وبك��رن اشترت مريم المجدلية ومريم أم يعقوب وسالومة حنوطا ليأتين ويدهن جدا في أول األسبوع، وأتين القبر وقد طلعت الشمس. وكن يقلن فيما بينهن من يدحرج لنا الحجر عن باب القبر، فتطلعن فرأين الحجر قد دحرج ألنه كان عظيم��ا جدا. ولما دخلن القبر رأين شابا جالس��ا عن اليمين البس��ا حل��ة بيض��اء، فان��ذهلن. فقال لهن ال تنذهلن. أتطلبن يسوع الناصري المص��لوب. ق��د ق��ام ليس ه��و ههن��ا. هوذا الموضع الذي وضعوه فيه، فاذهبن وقلن لتالميذه ولبطرس أنه يس��بقكم إلى الجليل. هناك ترونه كما قال لكم، فخرجن سريعا وفررن من الق��بر وق��د أخ��ذتهن

Sunday of the Holy Myrrh bearersThe third Sunday of Holy Pascha is observed by the Orthodox Church as the Sunday of the Holy Myrrh bearers. The day commemorates when the women disciples of our Lord came to the tomb to anoint his body with myrrh-oils but found the tomb empty. As the woman wondered what this meant, angels appeared proclaiming that Christ had risen from the dead.
