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

O Lord my God, for Thou
reignest forever
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.
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.
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?”
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,

Thee: Save us, O Lord!

Disciples; take them this message:
I Am going before you to preach in
