Then 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.

As

a Herald of Mysteries, Thou appeared plainly on earth, proclaiming Divine Things to mortals. Endowed with a human mind and flesh, and yet speaking in the Tongue of the Incorporeal, Thou amazed us and convinced us to cry out to Thee, O Godly Rhetor: through whom the Darkness was banished! Rejoice, through whom the Light supplanted it!

Thy Cross and Tomb, O Life-giver,

we believers worship and sing praise, for Hades, O Thou Who lives forever, as Almighty God, Thou hast belayed. The Gates of Hades Thou tore to shreds, and as God, the might of Death have razed. So, avidly we earthborn praise in Doxology the One now Raised, Who destroyed the deadly power of our foe. Thou hast Resurrected everyone all those who believe in Thee; Thou hast rescued the world from the serpents fangs, and have snatched us from allure to the hostile one as alone Thou is able to do. Hence, we piously sing the praises of Thy Rising by which Thou Saved us, as the GOD OF ALL THINGS.

Uncreated Divinitys Messenger! Rejoice, the Confuter of one created and nonsensical! Thou who called Gods Nature an Inaccessible Height!

Rejoice, the Bowl imparting Sweet Nectar.
