Mary Magdalene proclaimed to them the Resurrection of our Saviour and His appearance to her, the Disciples were taunted for the hardness of their hearts because they doubted. But when they were armed with Miracles and Wonders, they were sent out to warn. As for Thee, O Lord, Thou Ascended to Thy Father, the Element of all Light; and they preached in every place verifying their words with Wonders and Miracles. Wherefore, we who were Enlightened by them Glorify Thy Resurrection from the dead, O Lover of mankind.
