TROPARION

Troparion of the Sunday, Tone II —
When Thou didst descend to death, O Life immortal, / Thou didst slay hell with the splendor of Thy godhead! / And when from the depths Thou didst raise the dead, / all the powers of heaven cried out: / O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory to Thee!

Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone II —
All beyond thought, all most glorious, / are your mysteries, O Theotokos. / Sealed in purity, preserved in virginity, / you were revealed to be the true Mother who gave birth to the true God. / Entreat Him to save our souls.

Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone II —
Hell became afraid, O Almighty Savior, / seeing the miracle of Thy Resurrection from the tomb! / The dead arose! Creation, with Adam, beheld this and rejoiced with Thee! / And the world, O my Savior, praises Thee forever.



St. Maximus the Confessor, Troparion, Tone VIII —
O instructor of Orthodoxy, teacher of piety and purity,/ beacon for the whole world, divinely inspired adornment of monastics./ O most wise Maximus by thy doctrines thou hast illumined all.// O harp of the Spirit, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.

Holy Martyr Neophytus, Troparion, Tone IV —
In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Neophytus received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By his supplications save Thou our souls.

Kontakion of the Venerable One, Tone VIII, "To thee the Champion Leader" —
With fitting hymns, O ye faithful, let us honor the great Maximus,/ the lover of the Trinity, who manifestly teacheth us the divine Faith,/ to worship Christ in two natures, volitions and activities;// and let us cry aloud: Rejoice, O preacher of the faith!

And this Kontakion, Tone VI, "When Thou hadst fulfilled Thy dispensation" —
The thrice-radiant light which abode in thy soul showed thee forth as a chosen vessel, O most blessed one,/ revealing things divine to the ends of the earth./ O blessed Maximus, recount understandings of things hard to comprehend// and manifestly preach to all the transcendent and unoriginate Trinity!
