Before the dawn Mary and the women came and found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
They heard the angelic voice: “Why do you seek among the dead as a Man the One Who is everlasting Light?
Behold the clothes in the grave; go and proclaim to the world: ‘The Lord is risen; He has slain death, as He is the Son of God, saving the race of man.'”
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!
You descended into the tomb, O Immortal, You destroyed the power of death.
In victory You arose, O Christ God, proclaiming: “Rejoice!” to the Myrrhbearing Women, granting peace to Your Apostles, and bestowing Resurrection on the fallen.
