Tone 2 Troparion (Resurrection) When You descended to death, O Life Immortal, You destroyed hell with the splendor of Your Godhead. And when from the depths You raised the dead, all the powers of heaven cried out: “O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory to You!”Tone 2 Troparion (from the Pentecostarion)The noble Joseph, when he had taken down Your most pure Body from the Tree, wrapped it in fine linen and anointed it with spices, and placed it in a new tomb. But You rose on the third day, O Lord, granting the world great mercy.Tone 2 Troparion (from the Pentecostarion) The Angel came to the Myrrhbearing Women at the tomb and said:“Myrrh is fitting for the dead; but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption!So proclaim: ‘The Lord is risen, granting the world great mercy.’”Tone 8 Troparion (St James) You were called to be a disciple and warrior of Christ, one of the exalted choir of Apostles. With your brother John, you abandoned all to follow the Master, O James; you were filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed Him to all. You bowed your head to the sword, the first of the twelve to shed your blood! We celebrate your memory, O blessed one!Tone 2 Kontakion (Apostle James)O James, when you heard the voice of the Word calling you, you abandoned your father’s love and ran to Christ, together with yourbrother John. With him you were accounted worthy to behold the divine Transfiguration of Christ. Tone 2 Kontakion (from the Pentecostarion)You commanded the Myrrhbearers to rejoice, O Christ God.By Your Resurrection, You stopped the lamentation of Eve, the firstmother. You commanded them to preach to Your Apostles: “The Savior is risen from the tomb!”
