5th Sunday after Pentecost; Tone 4; The Holy Martyr Agrippina

Text from “The Divine Liturgy: An Anthology for Worship”; Pg. 341

Troparion (Tone 4): When the disciples of the Lord learned from the angel* the glorious news of the resurrection* and cast off the ancestral condemnation,* they proudly told the apostles:* “Death has been plundered!* Christ our God is risen,* granting to the world great mercy.”

+Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Kontakion (Tone 4): My Saviour and Deliverer from the grave* as God has raised out of bondage the children of the earth* and shattered the gates of Hades;* and as Master, He rose on the third day.
