[{"type": "TEXT", "value": "Having been illumined by the virtues, / let us behold the man standing in the Life-bearing tomb in brilliant vesture / while the myrrh-bearing women fall prostrate; / let us learn of the resurrection of Him Who hath dominion over the heavens;/ with Peter let us hasten to the sepulchre of Life; / and, marveling at what hath taken place, // let us remain to behold Christ. Theotokion: O Lord Who hast commanded us to rejoice, / Thou hast transformed the grief of our first parents, / bearing the joy of Thine arising into the world. / Wherefore, O Bestower of life, / through her who gave Thee birth send down upon us the light of Thy compassions, / a light which illumineth our hearts, / that we may cry out to Thee: / O God-man who lovest mankind, // glory to Thy resurrection. The Forth Gospel Sticheron Tone 4: It was very early in the morning, / and the women arrived at Thy tomb, O Christ; / but the body which they desired was nowhere to be found. / Wherefore, two angels clad in shining garments, / standing before the perplexed ones, said: / Why seek ye the Living among the dead? / He is risen, as He foretold! / Why do ye not remember His words? / And believing them, they proclaimed the things that they had seen; / yet the glad tidings were thought to be false, / so slow yet were the disciples. / But Peter ran and, seeing, // within himself glorified Thy wonders."}] |
