[{"type": "TEXT", "value": "Beholding two angels within the tomb, Mary was amazed; / and not recognizing Christ, she questioned Him, / assuming that He was the gardener, / saying: Sir, where have they laid the body of my Jesus? / But recognizing Him as the Savior Himself from the sound of His voice, / she heard Him say: Touch me not, for I shall depart unto the Father! // Tell this to My brethren. Theotokion: O Maiden, thou gavest birth ineffably to One of the Trinity, / Who is of two natures and two activities, / but a single hypostasis. / Him do thou ever entreat in behalf of those who do thee homage with faith, / that we be delivered from every assault of the enemy, // and may all now flee to thee, O Mistress Theotokos. The Eighth Gospel Sticheron Tone 8: The tears of Mary were not shed in vain; / for, behold! She was counted worthy of having angels instruct her / and Jesus Himself appear to her. / But, as a weak woman, she thought earthly thoughts. / Wherefore, she was turned away and commanded not to touch Christ. / Yet was she sent as a herald to Thy disciples, / bearing glad tidings to them / and announcing Thine ascension to the portion of the Father. / With her count us worthy, O Lord and Master, // of Thine appearance."}] |
