O Saviour, as the Myrrhbearers were on

their way to Thy Tomb, they wondered to themselves and said: Who will role the stone away from the Tomb for us? and looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. They were amazed by the sight of the Angel and His Robe. Trembling overwhelmed them and they considered fleeing. Then the Young Man said to them: Do ot be afraid: the One you seek has Risen. Come, see the place where the Body of Jesys lay. Now go quickly and tell the Disciples: THE SAVIOUR HAS RISEN FROM THE TOMB! the 19th day of this month we Commemorate the Holy Hieromartyr St Patrick, Bishop of Prusa, and those with him: St Akakios, St Menander, and St Polyaenos, the Presbyters.
