Troparia in the Second Tone of the Myrrh-Bearing Women When Thou didst descend unto death, O Life Immortal, then didst Thou slay hades with the lightning of Thy Divinity.  And when Thou  didst also raise the dead out of the nethermost depths, all the hosts of heaven cried out: O Life-giver, Christ Our God, glory be to Thee.  The noble Joseph, taking Thine immaculate Body down from the Tree, and having wrapped It in pure linen and spices, laid It in a new  tomb.  But on the third day Thou didst arise, O Lord, granting to the world great mercy.   Unto the myrrh-bearing women did the angel cry out as he stood by the tomb:  Myrrh is meet for the dead, but Christ hath proved to  be a stranger to corruption.  But cry out: The Lord is risen, granting to the world great mercy.   Kontakion, Second Tone:   When Thou didst cry, Rejoice, unto the myrrh-bearers, Thou didst make the lamentation of Eve the first mother to cease by Thy  Resurrection, O Christ God.  And Thou didst bid Thine apostles to preach: The Saviour is risen from the grave.  Troparion of the Resurrection. Second Tone. When Thou didst descend unto death, O Life Immortal, then didst Thou slay Hades with the lightning of Thy Divinity. And when  Thou didst also raise the dead out of the nethermost depths, all the Hosts of Heavens cried out: O Lifegiver, Christ our God,  glory be to Thee. Kontakion of the Resurrection. Second Tone. Thou didst arise from the tomb, O omnipotent Savior, and Hades was terrified on beholding the wonder; and the dead arose, and  creation at the sight thereof rejoiceth with Thee. And Adam also is joyful, and world, O my Savior, praiseth Thee for ever. The Reading from The Acts of the Apostles:  Acts 6:1-7 King James Version (KJV 1611) 6 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the  Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reasonable that we should leave the word of  God, and serve tables. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may  appoint over this business.  4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and  Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the  priests were obedient to the faith. The Holy Gospel according to: Saint Mark 15:43-16:6 King James Version (KJV 1611) 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate,  and craved the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if He were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether He had been any while  dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of  a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where He was laid. 16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that  they might come and anoint Him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were  affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He Is Risen; He is not here: behold the  place where they laid Him. Glory to Thee O Lord, glory to Thee!
