CONCERNING HIS PASSION
At that time, they were on the road,
going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus had
gone before them; and they were
amazed.
And as they followed, they were afraid,
for He had taken the Twelve aside
again and had begun to tell them the
things that would happen to Him.
Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be
betrayed to the Chief Priests, and to
the Scribes.
And they will condemn Him to death
and deliver Him to the Gentiles; and
they will mock Him and spit on
Him, and kill Him.
And the third day He will Rise again.
And James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, went to Him and asked:
Teacher, we want Thee to do for us
whatever we ask.
He said to them: What do you want
Me to do for you?
They said to Him: Grant us that we
may sit - one on Thy right hand side
and the other on Thy left - in Thy
Glory.

When Thou had Truly Risen from the

Women to proclaim the
Resurrection to the Apostles, as it is
written; and Peter, coming at full
speed, stood by the Tomb and
seeing the Light in the Tomb, was
struck with amazement. And so he
both saw the grave clothes lying
there alone, without the Divine
Body, and he believed and cried out:
Glory to Thee, O Christ God,
because Thou savest us all, our
Saviour: for Thou art the Brightness
of the Father!
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages.
Let us sing Hymns in Praise of the Holy
Ark, and the Heavenly Gate and the

Incarnation from a Virgin, O Most
High, the Prophet Habakkuk cried:
Glory to Thy Power, O Lord!
ODE 5 The whole world was amazed
at Thy Divine Glory: for Thou, O
Virgin, Who has not known wedlock,
has been Translated from earth to
the Eternal Mansions to the Life
without end, bestowing Salvation
upon all who sing Thy praises.
ODE 6 As we celebrate this Sacred and
Solemn Feast of the Theotokos, let
us come, clapping our hands, O
people of the Lord, and Glorifying
God Who was Born of her.
ODE 7 The Holy Children bravely

preferring not to worship created
things rather than the Creator, and
they sang in Joy: Blessed art Thou
and praised above all: O Lord God of
our Fathers!
ODE 8 We Praise, we Bless and we
