Patri, ke Io, ke Agio Pnevmati

Glory to the Father, and to the Truly,

the Women came at early dawn to Thy Tomb, O Christ, yet they did not find Thy Body, so precious to them. And while they were perplexed, behold! there stood amidst them those in shining clothes who said : Why do you seek the Living among the dead? He has Risen as He foretold. Why have you forgotten His Words? And being assured by these words, they preached to the Disciples the Things they had witnessed. But their Glad Tidings were received with ridicule; for they were still without Understanding. But Peter hastened to behold, and Glorified Thy Wonders in himself. Now and ever, and to the Ages of Ages.

My Saviour, how hast Thou, the King of all, been stolen? But a pair of Life bearing Angels from within the Tomb cried out: Why doest thou weep, woman?

they found the stone rolled away from the Tomb. Then they went in and did not find the Body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why dost ye seek the living among the dead? you when He was still in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered His words. Then they returned from the Tomb and told all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the Mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
