8th Sunday after Pentecost – The Holy Apostle Aquila

Text from “The Divine Liturgy: An Anthology for Worship”; Pg. 353

Troparion (Tone 7): By Your cross You destroyed death,* You opened Paradise to the thief,* You changed the lamentation of the myrrhbearers to joy,* and charged the apostles to proclaim* that You are risen, O Christ our God,* offering great mercy to the world.
