your plan! In vain did you labour
when you thought to guard the
Uncircumscribed! Openly you
appeared wishing to hide the
Resurrection of the Crucified. O the
folly of you assembly! Who do you
again wish to hide what cannot be
hidden? Listen rather to us, and be
willing to believe the Truthof the
events. A dazzling Angel came
down from Heaven and rolled away
the stone; from fear of Him, we
became as dead men; and calling out
to the brave Myrrhbearing Women,
he said: Do you not see the death of
the guards, the breaking of the seals
and the emptying of Hell? Why do
you seek as a mortal the One Who
has destroyed Hades’ victory and
smashed Death’s sting? Go quickly!
Proclaim to the Apostles the Good
Tidings of the Resurrection, crying
fearlessly: He has Risen indeed! The
Lord Who has Great Mercy!

Since Thou art the True Peace of God to
mankind, O Christ, Thou granted
Thy Peace to Thy Disciples after Thy
Resurrection when Thou saw them
frightened by what they thought to
be a spirit. But Thou removed the
anxiety of their souls when Thou
showed them Thy Hands and Feet;
and yet they still doubted. But when
Thou partook of food with them,
reminding them of Thy preaching,
Thou opened their minds to
understand the Scriptures. And
Thou made the Eternal Covenant
with them, Blessed them and then
Ascended into Heaven. Wherefore,
with them, we worship Thee. O
Lord, Glory be to Thee!

...And they told about the things that
had happened on the road, and how
Jesus was known to them by the
breaking of the bread.
As they said these things, Jesus Himself
stood in the midst of them, and said
to them: “Peace to you!”
They were terrified and frightened, and
thought they had seen a spirit.
And He said to them: “Why are you
troubled? And why do doubts arise
in your hearts? Behold My Hands
and My Feet, that it is I, Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does
not have flesh and bones as you
can see I have.”
when He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Feet.
since they still did not believe
for Joy and Marvelling, He said to
them:“Have you any food here?”
gave Him a piece of broiled fish

And He said to them: “Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary
for the Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead the third day, and
that Repentance and Remission of
sins should be preached in His
Name to all Nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. And you are Witnesses
of these Things. Behold, I send the
Promise of My Father upon you; but
remain in the city of Jerusalem
until you are endued with Power
from on High.”
He led them out as far as Bethany, and
lifting up His Hands He Blessed

And it came to pass, as He Blessed
