Ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τάφῳ, κατετέθης Χριστέ, καὶ Ἀγγέλων στρατιαὶ ἐξεπλήττοντο, συγκατάβασιν δοξάζουσαι τὴν σήν.

Ἄξιόν ἐστι, μεγαλύνειν σὲ τὸν Ζωοδότην, τὸν ἐν τῷ Σταυρῶ τὰς χείρας ἐκτείναντα, καὶ συντρίψαντα τὸ κράτος τοῦ ἐχθροῦ.

Αἱ γενεαὶ πᾶσαι, ὕμνον τὴ Ταφή σου, προσφέρουσι Χριστέ μου.

The Life in the tomb, they laid Thee, O Christ; and the host of all the angels were amazed, and they glorified Thy self-abasement.

It is meet indeed, to magnify Thee, the Giver of Life, Who upon the Cross hast stretched out Thy hands, and hast smashed the rule of the enemy.

Every generation hymns for Thy entombment offers, O my Christ.

Ἀπολυτίκιον

Συνταφέντες σοι διὰ τοῦ Βαπτίσματος, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, τῆς ἀθανάτου ζωῆς ἠξιώθημεν τῇ Ἀναστάσει σου, καὶ ἀνυμνοῦντες κράζομεν· Ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

Κοντάκιον

Τῷ θρόνῳ ἐν οὐρανῷ, τῷ πώλῳ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐποχούμενος Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, τῶν Ἀγγέλων τὴν αἴνεσιν, καὶ τῶν Παίδων ἀνύμνησιν προσεδέξω βοώντων σοι· Εὐλογημένος εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, τὸν Ἀδὰμ ἀνακαλέσασθαι.

Apolytikion

With Thee we have been Buried through Baptism, O Christ, Our God, and of Life immortal made worthy by Thy Resurrection, and paising Thee, we cry out, "Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He Who cometh in The Name of The Lord."

Kontakion

Upon a Throne in Heaven, upon a foal on Earth, Thou art riding, O Christ our God, the praise of the Angels and the hymn of the Children do accept, who cry out to Thee: "Blessed art Thou Who comest to recall Adam."

Ἀπολυτίκιον

Τὴν κοινὴν Ἀνάστασιν πρὸ τοῦ σοῦ Πάθους πιστούμενος, ἐκ νεκρῶν ἤγειρας τὸν Λάζαρον, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός· ὅθεν καὶ ἡμεῖς ὡς οἱ Παῖδες, τὰ τῆς νίκης σύμβολα φέροντες, σοὶ τῷ Νικητῇ τοῦ θανάτου βοῶμεν· Ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

Κοντάκιον

Ἡ πάντων χαρά, Χριστὸς ἡ ἀλήθεια, τὸ φῶς ἡ ζωή, τοῦ Κόσμου ἡ ἀνάστασις, τοῖς ἐν γῇ πεφανέρωται, τῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθότητι, καὶ γέγονε τύπος τῆς ἀναστάσεως, τοῖς πᾶσι παρέχων θείαν ἄφεσιν.

Apolytikion

The common Resurrection, before Thy Passion, Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead to confirm in Faith, O Christ our God. Therefore, as did the youths, we carry the symbols of victory and to Thee, the Victor over death, we cry out: "Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who cometh in the Name of The Lord."

Christ, the Joy of all, the Truth, the Light, Life, the Resurrection of the world, hath appeared to those on Earth by His Goodness. He is the Archetype of the Resurrection, granting unto all Divine Forgiveness.

Every deed of Christ is a cause of glorying to the Catholic Church, but her greatest of all glorying is in the Cross; and knowing this, Paul says, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of Christ" (Galatians 6:14). For wondrous indeed it was, that one who was blind from his birth should receive sight in Siloam; but what is this compared with the blind of the whole world? A great thing it was, and passing nature, for Lazarus to rise again on the fourth day; but the grace extended to him alone, and what was it compared with the dead in sins throughout the world? Marvellous it was, that five loaves should pour forth food for the five thousand; but what is that to those who are famishing in ignorance through all the world? It was marvellous that she should have been loosed who had been bound by Satan eighteen years: yet what is this to all of us, who were fast bound in the chains of our sins? But the glory of the Cross led those who were blind through ignorance into light, loosed all who were held fast by sin, and ransomed the whole world of mankind.

And wonder not that the whole world was ransomed; for it was no mere man, but the only-begotten Son of God, Who died on its behalf. Moreover one man's sin, even Adam's, had power to bring death to the world; but "if by the trespass of the one, death reigned" over the world, how shall not life much rather reign "by the righteousness of the One" (Romans 5:17-18)? And if because of the tree of food they were then cast out of paradise, shall not believers now more easily enter into paradise because of the Tree of Jesus? If the first man formed out of the earth brought in universal death, shall not He who formed him out of the earth bring in eternal life, being Himself the Life? If Phinees, when he waxed zealous and slew the evil-doer, staved the wrath of God, shall not Jesus, who slew not another, but "gave up Himself for a ransom" (1 Timothy 2:6), put away the wrath which is against mankind?

Let us then not be ashamed of the Cross of our Saviour but rather glory in it. "For the word of the Cross is unto Jews a stumbling-block, and unto Gentiles foolishness, but to us salvation: and to them that are perishing it is foolishness, but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:23-24). For it was not a mere man who died for us, as I said before, but the Son of God, God made man.
