Resurrectional Apolytikion.
Mode Pl. 2.
When the angelic
powers appeared at
Your grave, the soldiers
guarding it feared
and became as dead.
And standing by the
sepulcher was Mary who
was seeking Your
immaculate body. You
devastated Hades, not
afflicted by it. You
went to meet the virgin,
and granted eternal
life. You resurrected from
the dead. O Lord, glory to You.
Ἀπολυτίκιον
Ἀναστάσιµον.
Ἦχος πλ.
βʹ.
Ἀγγελικαὶ Δυνάμεις
ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμά
σου, καὶ οἱ φυλάσσοντες
ἀπενεκρώθησαν,
καὶ ἵστατο Μαρία ἐν
τῷ τάφῳ,
ζητοῦσα
τὸ ἄχραντόν σου σῶμα.
Ἐσκύλευσας
τὸν
ᾍδην, μὴ πειρασθεὶς
ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, ὑπήντησας
τῇ
Παρθένῳ, δωρούμενος
τὴν ζωήν,
ὁ
ἀναστὰς
ἐκ των
νεκρῶν, Κύριε δόξα
σοι.
Resurrectional Kontakion.
When the Life-bestower Christ God had
resurrected with His
vivifying hand, from the
dismal caverns, all
the dead from eternity, He
freely bestowed
resurrection on the substance
of our mortal
humanity. For He is the Savior
of all, resurrection
and life, and the God of all
things.
Κοντάκιον Ἀναστάσιµον.
Τῇ ζωαρχικῇ
παλάμῃ τοὺς τεθνεῶτας,
ἐκ τῶν ζοφερῶν
κευθμώνων
ὁ Ζωοδότης,
ἀναστήσας
ἅπαντας Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός,
τὴν ἀνάστασιν
ἑβράβευσε,
τῷ βροτείῳ
φυράματι· ὑπάρχει
γὰρ πάντων
Σωτήρ,
ἀνάστασις
καὶ ζωή,
καὶ Θεὸς τοῦ παντός.

Katherine the Great Martyr
Saint Catherine, who was from Alexandria, was the daughter
of Constas (or Cestus). She was an exceedingly
beautiful maiden, most chaste, and illustrious in wealth, lineage, and
learning. By her steadfast understanding, she utterly vanquished the
passionate and unbridled soul of Maximinus, the
tyrant of Alexandria; and by her eloquence, she stopped the mouths of the
so-called philosophers who had been gathered to dispute with her. She was
crowned with the crown of martyrdom in the year 305. Her holy relics were
taken by Angels to the holy mountain of Sinai, where they were discovered
many years later; the famous monastery of Saint Catherine was originally
dedicated to the Holy Transfiguration of the Lord and the Burning Bush,
but later was dedicated to Saint Catherine. According to the ancient
usage, Saints Catherine and Mercurius were celebrated on the 24th of this
month, whereas the holy Hieromartyrs Clement of
Rome and Peter of Alexandria were celebrated on the 24th of
this month, whereas the holy Hieromartyrs
Clement of Rome and Peter of Alexandria were celebrated on the 25th. The
dates of the feasts of these Saints were interchanged at the request of
the Church and Monastery of Mount Sinai, so that the festival of Saint
Catherine, their patron, might be celebrated more festively together with
the Apodosis of the Feast of the Entry of the Theotokos. The Slavic
Churches, however, commemorate these Saints on their original dates.
Apolytikion of Great Martyr Katherine
Plagal of the First Tone
Let us praise the most auspicious bride of Christ, the divine
Katherine, protectress of Sinai, our aid and our help. For, she
brilliantly silenced the eloquence of the impious by the sword of the
spirit, and now, crowned as a martyr, she asks great mercy for all.
Kontakion of Great Martyr Katherine
Second Tone
O friends of martyrs, now divinely raise up a renewed chorus,
praising the all-wise Katherine. For, she proclaimed Christ in the arena,
trampled on the serpent, and spat upon the knowledge of the orators.
Andrew the First-Called Apostle
This Saint was from
Bethsaida of Galilee; he was the son of Jonas and the brother of Peter,
the chief of the Apostles. He had first been a disciple of John the
Baptist; afterwards, on hearing the Baptist's witness concerning Jesus,
when he pointed Him out with his finger and said, "Behold the Lamb
of God, Which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1.29,36), he
straightway followed Christ, and became His first disciple; wherefore he
is called the First-called of the Apostles. After the Ascension of the
Saviour, he preached in various lands; and having suffered many things
for His Name's sake, he died in Patras of Achaia, where he was crucified
on a cross in the shape of an "X," the first letter of
"Christ" in Greek; this cross is also the symbol of Saint
Andrew.
Apolytikion of Andrew the First-Called
Apostle
Fourth Tone
As first of the Apostles to be called, O Andrew, brother of him
(Peter) who was foremost, beseech the Master of all to grant the world
peace and our souls great mercy.
Kontakion of Apostle Andrew
the First-Called Apostle
Second Tone
Let us praise the namesake of bravery, the divinely eloquent and
first to be called of the Disciples of Christ, the kinsman of Peter. As
he called out to him in days of old, so now he calls to us, "Come,
we have found Him for whom we yearned."
