Christ the Lord grants us, since He

Now, all the ends of the Earth do
Glorify, and all demons are greatly
terrified. O, what a Gift is this that
to mortals has been granted! Hence,
O Christ, the Only Compassionate,
do thereby Save our soul.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.
What a Paradoxical Miracle! Behold,
the Life-bearing plant, the All Holy
and Precious Cross, is appearing on
display and is carried aloft today.
Now all the ends of the Earth do
Glorify, and all the demons are
greatly terrified. O, what a Gift is
this that to mortals has been
granted! Hence, O Christ, the Only
Compassionate: do thereby Save our
soul.
Exalt the Lord our God, and worship
at the Footstool of His Feet.

What a Paradoxical Miracle! The Cross
that held the Most High like a grape
clster full of Life is observed by all
to be Exalted from Earth today: the
Cross, through which we have all
been drawn to God, and by which
Death was completely swallowed up.
O Immaculate Tree, whereby we
again enjoy the Deathless Food that
was in Eden of old, and Christ we
Glorify.
God is our King before the Ages; He
worked Salvation in the midst of
the Earth.
What a Paradoxical Miracle! Behold the
breadth and length of the Cross are
the same as those of the sky. For by
Divine Grace it hallows the Universe.
By it barbarian Nations are subdued,
by it the Sceptres of Kings have been
secured. O Holy and Divine Ladder,
whereby to the Heavens we return,
as we offer songs of Praise, exalting
Christ the Lord.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit

They found the stone rolled away
from the Tomb. And entering, they
did not see the Body of Lord Jesus.
And, while they were greatly
perplexed about this, behold: two
Men stood by them in shining
Garments.
Then, as they were afraid and bowed
their faces to the earth, they said to
them:Why do you seek the Living
among the dead? He is not here,
but is Risen!
Remember how He spoke to you
when He was still in Galilee, saying:
The Son of Man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the
Third Day Rise again.
And they remembered His Words, and
returning from the Tomb they told
all these things to the Eleven and to
all the rest.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary,
1

the Mother of James, and the other
women with them, who told these
things to the Apostles.
And their words seemed to them like
idle tales, and they did not believe
them.
But Peter rose up and ran to the
Tomb; and stooping down, he saw
the Linen Cloths lying by
themselves; and he departed,
marvelling to himself at what had
happened.

Verily, Moses having struck
horizontally with his rod, cleaving
the Red Sea and causing Israel to
cross on foot, then having struck it
transversely bringing it together over
Pharaoh and his chariots, traced the
Cross, thus symbolising that
Invincible Weapon. Wherefore, we
praise Christ our God, for He has
been Glorified.'
O D E 3
The rod is taken as a symbol of the
Mystery; for by its budding, it
designated the Priest. But now the

forth with Might and Steadfastness
to the hitherto barren Church.
