8th Sunday of Luke

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
You descended from on high, O compassionate One, and condescended to
be buried for three days, so that from the passions You might set us
free. Our life and resurrection, O Lord, glory be to You.

Resurrectional Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
When You had risen from the grave, You also raised those who had died
and resurrected Adam; and now Eve is celebrating in Your
Resurrection, and the ends of the world keep festival, for Your rising from the
dead, O Most-Merciful.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber
and Virgin, the sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord,
bringing the grace of the Divine Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She
is the heavenly tabernacle.
