Christ, our veritable Pascha, is the fulfillment of the Law; therefore He appeared as a male having opened the virgin womb; He has been called a Lamb as being edible; unblemished, as without stain; and He is said to be perfect, being very God. [SD]

Δόξα τῇ ἁγίᾳ Ἀναστάσει σου, Κύριε.

The Savior Christ, the crown of goodness who is ever blest by us, willingly was sacrificed for all as a year old paschal lamb, our Passover that cleanses us. And from the sepulcher now the handsome Sun of Righteousness for us has shone again. [SD]

Before the Ark, which was a shadow of old, the forebear of God David leapt and danced. As we see the types fulfilled, correspondingly let us also, as God’s holy people, rejoice in godly manner, because arisen is Christ, being omnipotent. [SD]

O Virgin, the works of your Spring are truly greater in number than the grains of sand and the raindrops. For they unceasingly flow to all the earth, and richly and quickly heal anyone who is sick. [SD]

O Virgin Lady, the water of your Spring was poured on a woman’s cancerous breast, and immediately the fatal disease was cured by the application of the water. And the crab, namely cancer, learned to walk upright. [SD]

Ἀκατανόητον ἐν σοί, καὶ ὑπὲρ φύσιν τὸ πραχθέν, ἔνεστι σαφῶς Θεοτόκε· τὸ γὰρ ὕδωρ γίνεται, τὸ τῆς Πηγῆς σου ἴαμα, νόσων θανατηφόρων ἐναντίον, ὅπερ ἡ φύσις, σαφῶς οἶδεν οὐδέποτε.

O Theotokos, what occurred was clearly incomprehensible and transcending nature. For your water became a cure against fatal illnesses, something nature has never seen before. [SD]

Now let Habakkuk as a God-inspired prophet stand with us, * keeping his divine watch, and show us * the angelic messenger, who, shining, utters glowingly, * “Today, for the world is salvation,* because arisen is Christ, being omnipotent.”

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν, θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας, καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι, ζωὴν χαρισάμενος. (3)

Πάσχα ἱερὸν ἡμῖν σήμερον ἀναδέδεικται· Πάσχα καινόν, Ἅγιον· Πάσχα μυστικόν· Πάσχα πανσεβάσμιον· Πάσχα Χριστὸς ὁ λυτρωτής. Πάσχα ἄμωμον· Πάσχα μέγα· Πάσχα τῶν πιστῶν· Πάσχα τὸ πύλας ἡμῖν τοῦ Παραδείσου ἀνοῖξαν· Πάσχα, πάντας ἁγιάζον πιστούς.

Today a sacred Pascha has been revealed to us; a Pascha new and holy, a Pascha mystical, a Pascha all-venerable, Pascha, the Redeemer Christ himself; a Pascha that is blameless, a Pascha that is great, a Pascha of believers, a Pascha that has opened for us the gates of Paradise, a Pascha that sanctifies believers all.

The myrrh-bearing women at dawn very early, standing outside the tomb of the Giver-of-Life, found an Angel who was seated upon the stone. And the Angel addressed them, and this is what he said, “Why do you seek among the dead the One who is alive? Why do you grieve as though corruptible the Incorrupt? So go back and proclaim it to His Disciples.” [SD]

Στίχ. δʹ. Αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα, ἣν ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ.

Pascha of delight! Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha! A Pascha all venerable has risen for us. Pascha! With joy let us embrace one another. Pascha, the ransom from sorrow! Today from the sepulcher Christ emerged resplendently as from a bridal chamber, and the women He filled with joy, saying, “Proclaim this to the Apostles.” [SD]
