Tone of the week: Plagal of the Second Tone
Ninth Eothinon
Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Second Tone
Angelic powers were above Thy tomb, and they that guarded Thee
became as dead. And Mary stood by the grave seeking Thine immaculate
Body. Thou hast despoiled Hades and wast not tried thereby. Thou didst
meet the Virgin and didst grant us life. O Thou Who didst arise from
the dead, Lord, glory be to Thee.
Apolytikion of Sun. before Epiphany in the Fourth Tone
Make ready O Zebulum; Prepare yourself O Naphthali; Cease to flow
O River Jordan; Receive the Master who comes to be baptized, in joy.
Adam, rejoice with the first mother. Do not hide in Paradise, as before,
for He came to see us, even naked, that He might clothe us as we were
before. Christ has appeared to renew all creation.
Seasonal Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
In the running waters of the Jordan River, on this day the Lord
of all crieth to John: Be not afraid and hesitate not to baptize Me,
for I am come to save Adam, the first-formed man.
