HIDE TROPARION

Sunday of the Blind Man, Troparion, Tone V —
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling on death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life.

Kontakion, Tone IV —
Having the eyes of my soul blinded, I come to Thee, O Christ, like the man blind from birth, and with repentance I cry to Thee: Thou art the bright Light of those in darkness.

Troparion of the Sunday, Tone V —
Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, / Co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, / born for our salvation from the Virgin, / for He willed to be lifted up on the cross in the flesh, / to endure death / and to raise the dead by His glorious resurrection.

Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone V —
Rejoice, O impassable gate of the Lord! / Rejoice, O wall and protection of those who run to you! / Rejoice, O unshakable refuge! / Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of your God and Creator! / Do not cease praying for those who praise you and worship your Son. (1x) Blessed be the name of the Lord, henceforth and forever more.

Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone V —
Thou didst descend into hell, O my Savior, / shattering its gates as almighty; / resurrecting the dead as Creator, / and destroying the sting of death. / Thou hast delivered Adam from the curse, O Lover of Man, / and we all cry to Thee: "O Lord, save us!"

Holy Prophet Jeremiah, Troparion, Tone II —
Celebrating the memory/ of Thy prophet Jeremiah O Lord,// through him do we entreat Thee, save Thou our souls.

Kontakion, Tone III: ''Today the Virgin..." —
Having cleansed thy radiant heart with the Spirit,/ O glorious Jeremiah, great prophet and martyr,/ thou didst receive from on high the gift of prophecy/ and didst cry aloud among the lands: "Behold our God!// There is none other to compare with Him, Who hath appeared, incarnate, on the earth!"

Martyrs Euthymius, Ignatius, and Acacius, Troparion, in Tone I —
Equal in number with the uncreated Trin­ity, O wise ones,/ with the choirs of angels and the ranks of martyrs/ ye stand, rejoicing, before the throne of the Godhead;/ wherefore, receiving effulgence from thence through communion,/ ye impart to the faithful a well-spring of healings/ and divine enlightenment./ O Euphemius, mar­tyr of Christ,/ wise Ignatius and godly Acacius,// pray ye ever in our behalf.

Kontakion, in Tone IV —
The new celebration of the three passion-bearers hath today been shown forth to the Church, illumining the fullness of the Orthodox like beacons, O Christ.

St. Tamara, queen of Georgia, Troparion, in Tone I —
Having served the King of kings diligently , on earth, O Tamara,/ queen of great renown,/ thou didst enter with honor into the heavenly Jerusalem/ and didst bring to Christ thy glory as a gift;/ wherefore, celebrating and joining cho­rus today,/ with joy we unceasingly cry:/ Glory to Him Who hath given thee glory!/ Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee!// Glory to Him Who granteth unto all the fullness of forgiveness by thine intercession!

Kontakion, in Tone IV —
Make ready, O thou heavenly Jerusalem!/ Open thy gates, O Eden!/ Join chorus together, ye choirs of the righteous!/ Ye people of Iberia keep festival!/ And thou, O holy Nina, greet thou the glorious Tamara/ who arriveth today in the kingdom of heaven// to be crowned by the hand of God!
