Ο Αγγελος ἐβόα...Φωτίζου
The Angel cried...Shine on
Pascha
The Angel cried aloud to the Lady full of grace: Rejoice, O pure Virgin; and again I say Rejoice.
Your Son has truly risen from the grave on the third day.
Arise, shine! Arise, shine, O new Jerusalem! Shine! For the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Zion, exult and be glad now. O pure Mother of God, rejoice, celebrating the resurrection of Christ your Son!
Θεὸς Κύριος, καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἡμῖν
God is the Lord, and He appeared to us.
Palm Sunday
God is the Lord, and He appeared to us.
O Christians, appoint a feast, and with exultant joy come and let us magnify the Christ, waving our palm-leaves and branches, crying aloud in hymns:
"Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord our Savior."
Eπί Σοι Χαίρει
In you, O Lady full of grace, rejoices all creation
Saint Basil’s
In you, O Lady full of grace, rejoices all creation, the orders of Angels and the human race together. O hallowed temple and rational Garden of Paradise, the pride of virgins, from you did God become incarnate, and our God who existed before the ages became a child. For He made your womb a throne for himself, and your body He made wider than the heavens. In you, O Lady full of grace, rejoices all creation. Glory to you.
