5th Sunday of Luke

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Second Tone
When the angelic powers appeared at Your grave, the soldiers guarding
it feared and became as dead. And standing by the sepulcher was Mary
who was seeking Your immaculate body. You devastated Hades, not
afflicted by it. You went to meet the virgin, and granted eternal life. You
resurrected from the dead. O Lord, glory to You.

Resurrectional Kontakion in the Plagal of the Second Tone
When the Life-bestower Christ God had resurrected * with His vivifying
hand, from the dismal caverns, * all the dead from eternity, He freely
bestowed * resurrection on the substance of our mortal humanity. * For He
is the Savior of all, resurrection and life, and the God of all
things.

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.
