2nd Sunday of Luke

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Second Tone
When You descended unto death, O Lord who yourself are immortal Life,
then did You mortify Hades by the lightning flash of Your Divinity.
Also when You raised the dead from the netherworld, all the Powers of
the heavens were crying out: O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory
be to You.

Resurrectional Kontakion in the Second Tone
You rose from the tomb, O Savior all-powerful, * and Hades beheld the
marvel and was struck with fear, * and the dead were rising up, and
creation beholds and rejoices with You, * and Adam is also exultant; O my
Savior, and the world ever sings Your praise.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal of the Second Tone
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation
unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who
have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in
faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make
supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee.
