HIDE TROPARION

Troparion of the Sunday, Tone I —
When the stone had been sealed by the Jews; / while the soldiers were guarding Thy most pure Body; / Thou didst rise on the third day, O Savior, / granting life to the world. / The powers of heaven therefore cried to Thee, O Giver of Life: / Glory to Thy Resurrection, O Christ! / Glory to Thy Kingdom! / Glory to Thy dispensation, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone I —
When Gabriel announced to Thee, O Virgin, “Rejoice!” / with that word the Master of all was incarnate in Thee, O Holy Ark. / As the righteous David said, / Thy womb became more spacious than the heavens, bearing Thy Creator. / Glory to Him Who took abode in Thee! / Glory to Him Who came from Thee! / Glory to Him Who freed us by being born of Thee!

Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone I —
As God, Thou didst rise from the tomb in glory, / raising the world with Thyself. / Human nature praises Thee as God, for death has vanished! / Adam exults, O Master! / Eve rejoices, for she is freed from bondage, and cries to Thee: / Thou art the Giver of Resurrection to all, O Christ!

Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the 7th Ecumenical Council.
At the Blessing of the Loaves, the (troparion) "Virgin Theotokos, rejoice...," twice,
and then that of the fathers, in Tone VIII —
Most glorious art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast established our fathers upon the earth as beacons, and hast thereby guided us all to the true Faith! O greatly Compassionate One, glory be to Thee! Once

Kontakion, in Tone VI —
The Son Who ineffably shone forth from the Father hath been born in two natures of a woman, and beholding Him we do not disdain to depict the form thereof. But, tracing it piously, we honor it in faith. Wherefore, the Church, holding to the true Faith, doth vener­ate the icon of the incarnation of Christ.

Holy Martyrs Probus, Tarachus & Andronicus, Troparion, Tone V —
The hosts of heaven marvelled/ at the corrections of the holy martyrs,/ how in their mortal bodies/ they invisibly vanquished the incorporeal foe,/ contending well with the power of the Cross./ And they pray to Christ,// that our souls find mercy.

Holy Hierarch Cosmas of Jerusalem, Bishop of Maiuma, Troparion, Tone VIII —
O instructor of Orthodoxy, teacher of piety and purity,/ beacon for the whole world, divinely inspired adornment of hierarchs./ O most wise Cosmas by thy doctrines thou hast illumined all.// O harp of the Spirit, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion of the Hierarch (after Ode III), Tone VIII "To thee, the champion leader" —
Adorned with the virtues, O divinely inspired Cosmas,/ thou wast the adornment of the Church of Christ;/ for thou hast embellished it with hymns, O blessed one./ Pray thou to the Lord, that we be delivered from all the wiles of the enemy,// for we cry: Rejoice, O thrice-blessed Cosmas!

Kontakion of the Martyrs, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
The valiant warriors and martyrs of Christ,/ Tarachus, Probus and Andronicus,/ have revealed to us the glory of the Trinity;/ for they denounced all the ungodliness of the tyrants,// contending with valor and faith.

St. Martin the Merciful, bishop of Tours, Troparion, Tone IV —
The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,/ a model of meekness and a teacher of abstinence/ wherefore thou hast attained the heights through humility/ and riches through poverty.// O hierarch Martin our father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion of St. Martin, Tone II —
Thou didst flourish in the virtues like a palm-tree, and in thy miracles didst multiply like a cedar, O wondrous father, bedewing the ends of the world, and burning up legions of the demons. Wherefore, entreat the Lord in our behalf.
