Let us the faithful, praise and worship the Word, Co-eternal
with the Father and the Spirit, born for our salvation of the
Virgin. In His Good Will, He was lifted up on the Cross in the
flesh to suffer death and to raise the dead, by His glorious
Resurrection.
Tropar of the Dormition, Tone 1
In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep
you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were
translated to Life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers
you deliver our souls from death.
Tropar to Venerable Thomas & Acacius, Tone 4
O God of our Fathers, always act with kindness towards us; take not Your
mercy from us, but guide our lives in peace, through the prayers of Saints
Thomas and Acacius.
Glory…Kondak of the Resurrecction, Tone 5
You descended into Hell, my Savior, destroying its gates as the Almighty,
resurrection the dead as Creator and destroying the stig of death. You have
delivered Adam from the curse, Lover of all Mankind. Therefore, we all cry
out to You: Lord, save us.
Now and ever…Bohorodychnyi, Tone 5
Rejoice, Impassible Gateway of the Lord. Rejoice, Wall and Protection for
those who take refuge in you. Rejoice, Haven untroubled by storms. Rejoice,
you who have not known wedlock, yet birth in the flesh to your Creator and
God. Fail not in your prayers on behalf of those who venerate and praise your
birthgiving.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 5
You, O Lord, shall protect us and preserve us from this generation
forever.
Verse: O Lord, save me for there is no longer any righteous man.

Of Your mercies, O Lord, I will sing forever; unto generation and generation,

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest. (Alleluia 3X).
