Entrance Hymn Blessed is He Who comes the name of the Lord. God is the Lord and He revealed Himself to us. Save us, O Son of God, Who did rise from the dead, We sing to You: Alleluia.
Resurrectional Apolytikion (Plagal Three) By Your Cross, O Lord, You destroyed death; To the thief You opened Paradise. The myrrh bearers' sorrow You transformed into joy, And You sent Your Apostles forth to proclaim That You had risen from the dead, Christ our God Bestowing on all the world Your great mercy.
Apodosis of Theophany At Your Baptism in the Jordan, O Lord, The worship of the Trinity was made manifest, For the Father's voice bore You witness By calling You His beloved Son, And the Spirit in the form of a dove Confirmed the truth of the Father's Word. O Christ our God, You have appeared to us And enlightened the world, Glory to You.
Church Hymn (Troparion of Pentecost) Blessed are You O Christ our God Who has shown the fishermen as wise men By sending down Your Holy Spirit upon them And through them, the whole world You drew into Your net O Lover of mankind, glory to You. Evlogitos i Hriste O Theos imon, O Pansofous tous aliis anadixas, Katapempsas aftis to Pnevma to agion, Ke thi afton tin ikoumenin saginefsas, Filanthrope doxa Si.
Kontakion
You have revealed Yourself to the world today, And Your light shines forth on us Who sing Your praise with full knowledge: You have come to us, O Lord; You are made manifest, O unapproachable Light.

EPISTLE READING: St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 4:7-13 BRETHREN, grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men." (in saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
GOSPEL READING: The Gospel According to St. Matthew 4:12-17 At that time, when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned." From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

When full payment is received, the icon is then considered donated and thus not available to anyone else. A display of sketches for Phase 3 is in the Founders' Walk.
