Resurrectional Apolytikion
Κατέλυσας τῷ Σταυρῷ σου τὸν θάνατον,
ἠνέῳξας τῷ Λῃστῇ τὸν Παράδεισον, τῶν
Μυροφόρων τὸν θρῆνον µετέβαλες, καὶ τοῖς
σοῖς Ἀποστόλοις κηρύττειν ἐπέταξας· ὅτι
ἀνέστης Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, παρέχων τῷ κόσµῳ τὸ
µέγα ἔλεος.
By means of Your Cross, O Lord, You
abolished death. To the robber You opened
Paradise. The lamentation of the
myrrhbearing women You transformed, and
You gave Your Apostles the order to proclaim
to all that You had risen, O Christ our God,
and granted the world Your great mercy.
Δόξα. Τοῦ Ἁγίου.
Glory. For the Saint.
Καὶ τρόπων µέτοχος, καὶ θρόνων
διάδοχος, τῶν Ἀποστόλων γενόµενος, τὴν
πρᾶξιν εὗρες Θεόπνευστε, εἰς θεωρίας
ἐπίβασιν· διὰ τοῦτο τὸν λόγον τῆς
ἀληθείας ὀρθοτοµῶν, καὶ τῇ πίστει
ἐνήθλησας µέχρις αἵµατος, Ἱεροµάρτυς
Ἰγνάτιε. πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ,
σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡµῶν.
Becoming a partner with the Apostles in way
of life and successor to their thrones, O Godinspired Saint, in the active life you found an
entrance to contemplation. Hence you rightly
expounded the word of truth, and you shed
your blood in struggling for the faith, O
Hieromartyr Ignatius. Intercede with Christ
our God, beseeching Him to save our souls.

Ὁ µήτραν παρθενικὴν ἁγιάσας τῷ τόκῳ
σου, καὶ χεῖρας τοῦ Συµεὼν εὐλογήσας ὡς
ἔπρεπε, προφθάσας καὶ νῦν ἔσωσας ἡµᾶς
Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός. Ἀλλ' εἰρήνευσον ἐν πολέµοις
τὸ πολίτευµα, καὶ κραταίωσον Βασιλεῖς οὓς
ἠγάπησας, ὁ µόνος φιλάνθρωπος.
You sanctified the virginal womb by Your birth,
O Lord, and blessed the hands of Symeon
fittingly, O Christ God; and even now You
came and saved us. Now, give peace to our
Nation in time of war, and empower our
Leaders, so loved by You, the only one who
loves humanity.
St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:1
BRETHREN, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and
move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come
out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then
I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty."
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of
body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.
The Gospel according to Matthew 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman
from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my
daughter is severely possessed by a demon." But he did not answer her a word. And his
disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us." He
answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and
knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." And he answered, "It is not fair to take the
children's bread and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the
crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is
your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.
