[{"type": "TEXT", "value": "Christ, the Life and the Way, arose from the dead. / He journeyed with Cleopas and Luke, / and was recognized by them in Emmaus when He broke bread, / whereat their souls and hearts burned within them / when they remembered how He had spoken to them on the way / and explained to them from the Scriptures that He had to suffer. / With them let us cry out: // He hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Peter! Theotokion: I hymn Thine immeasurable mercy, O my Creator, / for Thou didst abase Thyself to assume and save afflicted human nature, / and, being God, Thou didst will to be born of the pure divine Maiden, / to become like unto me, and to descend even into hades, / desiring that I be saved through the supplications of her who gave Thee birth, // O most compassionate Master. The Fifth Gospel Sticheron Tone 5: O, Thine all-wise judgments, O Christ! / How by the grave clothes alone / didst Thou give Peter to understand thy resurrection? / And, while journeying with Luke and Cleopas, / how didst Thou converse with them, / and in conversing didst not reveal Thyself straightway? / Wherefore, Thou wast reproached as a mere traveler to Jerusalem / Who took no part in its doings. / Yet, ordering all things for the benefit of Thy creation, / Thou didst disclose the prophecies concerning Thee, / and madest Thyself known to them when Thou didst break the bread; / and their hearts burned within them before they recognized Thee. / And to Thine assembled disciples / they manifestly proclaimed Thy resurrection, // whereby do Thou have mercy upon us."}] |
