Resurrection Hymn Christ is risen from the dead, By death, trampling down upon death, And to those in the tombs He has granted life. Hristos anesti ek nekron, Thanato thanato patisas, ke tis en tis mnimasi, Zoin harisamenos.

Entrance Hymn In congregations, bless God the Lord from the wellsprings of Israel. Save us O Son of God, Who did rise from the dead; We sing to You: Alleluia

Resurrectional Apolytikion (Tone Two)

When You descended into death, Life immortal, You vanquished the power of hell by Your resplendent Divinity, And when You raised the dead from the depths of darkness, All the heavenly powers cried out triumphantly: O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory to You.

Apolytikion for Joseph of Arimathea

When he took down Your immaculate Body from the Cross, The honorable Joseph wrapped it in a clean linen shroud with spices and laid it for burial in a new tomb. But on the third day You arose, O Lord, And granted the world Your great mercy.

Apolytikion for the Myrrh Bearers The Angel standing at the sepulcher cried out And said to the ointment-bearing women: "The ointments are appropriate for mortal men, But Christ has been shown to be a stranger to decay. So go and cry aloud, The Lord has risen and granted the world His great mercy."

Church Hymn (Troparion of Pentecost) Blessed are You O Christ our God Who has shown the fishermen as wise men By sending down Your Holy Spirit upon them And through them, the whole world You drew into Your net O Lover of mankind, glory to You. Evlogitos i Hriste O Theos imon, O Pansofous tous aliis anadixas, katapempsas aftis to Pnevma to agion, ke thi afton tin ikoumenin saginefsas Filanthrope doxa Si.

Pascha Kontakion Into the grave You descended Immortal One, And yet the power of Hades have You destroyed! And as Victor You did arise, O Christ Our God, To the women who came bearing myrrh, You proclaimed, "Rejoice!" and You granted Your Apostles the gift of peace, And have bestowed, on the fallen, resurrection.

Everyone who has not yet completed a 2017 Stewardship Commitment Card is encouraged to do so. Blank cards are available in the Founders' Walk following the Divine Services and online at https://goo.gl/oLGnGf.

Iconography Phase 3

Those interested in donating an icon for Phase 3 are encouraged to review the updated list of available icons. The process is the same as Phase 2 -- "first come, first served". Please include the Code Number on the memo line of the check. If another means of donating the funds is used, the Code Number should be either written on paper or sent in an email to avoid any confusion. When full payment is received, the icon is then considered donated and thus not available to anyone else. A display of sketches for Phase 3 is in the Founders' Walk.

If a particular Saint is not included on the present list, please inform Father Bill in written form which other Saint might be considered. When Dr. Kordis begins his work, more Saints may be included.
