Third Antiphon Christ is risen from the dead, By death, trampling down upon death, And to those in the tombs He has granted life. Hristos anesti ek nekron, Thanato thanato patisas, Ke tis en tis mnimasi, Zoin harisamenos. Entrance Hymn In congregations, bless God the Lord From the wellsprings of Israel. Save us O Son of God, Who did rise from the dead; We sing to You: Alleluia Resurrectional Apolytikion (Tone Three) Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, For the Lord has shown the mighty Power of His arm. He has trampled down death by death, Becoming the Firstborn of the dead. He has delivered us from the depths of hell And has granted to all the world His great mercy. Church Hymn (Troparion of Pentecost) Blessed are You O Christ our God Who has shown the fishermen as wise men By sending down Your Holy Spirit upon them And through them, the whole world You drew into Your net O Lover of mankind, glory to You. Evlogitos i Hriste O Theos imon, O Pansofous tous aliis anadixas, Katapempsas aftis to Pnevma to agion, Ke thi afton tin ikoumenin saginefsas, Filanthrope doxa Si. Kontakion Into the grave You descended Immortal One, And yet the power of Hades have You destroyed! And as Victor You did arise, O Christ Our God, To the women who came bearing myrrh, You proclaimed, "Rejoice!" and You granted Your Apostles the gift of peace, And have bestowed, on the fallen, resurrection. After the Prayer of the Proskomidi I love you, O Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior.

3 EPISTLE READING: Acts of the Apostles 9:32-42 IN THOSE DAYS, as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints that lived at Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay." So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. And he gave her his hand and lifted her up. Then calling the saints and widows he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. GOSPEL READING: The Gospel according to St. John 5:1-15 Priest: Christ is Risen! All: Truly He is Risen! THE CREED OF FAITH (Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed) I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen. Priest: Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! (Christos Anesti) All: Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! (Alithos Anesti) Priest: Al'MaSIah qam! All: HAQqan qam! Priest: HriSTOS vosskresse! All: Vo ISS-ti-nou vosskresse! Priest: ChriSTOS TENsiou! Priest: BaHAki TENsiou! Priest: Glory to His third day Resurrection. All: We worship His third day Resurrection. Dismissal Priest: Christ is risen from the dead, by death, trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs He has granted life. All: Truly the Lord is risen!
