RESURRECTIONAL TROPARION - TONE SIX: The angelic powers were at Your tomb; the guards became as dead men. Mary stood by Your grave, seeking Your most pure Body. You did capture hell, not being tempted by it. You did come to the Virgin, granting life. O Lord who rose from the dead: Glory to You!

ASCENSION TROPARION - TONE FOUR: You have ascended in glory, O Christ our God, granting joy to Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Through the blessing they were assured that You are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world!

TROPARION TO THE HOLY FATHERS - TONE EIGHT: You are most glorious, O Christ our God! You have established the Holy Fathers as lights on the earth! Through them You have guided us to the true faith! O greatly Compassionate One, glory to You!

TROPARION TO SAINTS CYRIL & METHODIUS - TONE FOUR: Divinely-wise Cyril and Methodius, equals to the Apostles and teachers of the Slavs, entreat the Master of all to strengthen all nations in Orthodoxy and unity of mind, to grant peace to the world and to save our souls.

RESURRECTIONAL KONTAKION - TONE SIX: When Christ God, the Giver of Life, raised all of the dead from the valleys of misery with His mighty hand, He bestowed resurrection on the human race. He is the Savior of all, the Resurrection, the Life, and God of all.

ASCENSION KONTAKION - TONE SIX: When You fulfilled the dispensation for our sake, and unite earth to heaven: You ascended in glory, O Christ our God, not being parted from those who love You, but remaining with them and crying: I am with you and no one will be against you.

Instead of “It is truly meet…” Magnify, O my soul, Christ the Giver of Life, Who has ascended from earth to heaven! We magnify you, the Mother of God, who beyond reason and understanding gave birth in time to the Timeless One.

Instead of “We have seen the True Light…” You have ascended in glory, O Christ our God, granting joy to Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Through the blessing they were assured that You are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world!

Did You Know? We are called to live from Communion to Communion―from Glory to Glory. We should be continuously striving to live in Communion with God by preparing for and receiving the Holy Eucharist as often as we can.

Then, we can live that Communion in and throughout our lives: watching a sunset, eating dinner with family, meeting a new person at the local Giant… All becomes Communion with God!
