Marriage Feast for His Son, and
sent His servants to call those who
were invited to the Marriage Feast,
and they would not come.
“Again He sent other servants, saying:
‘Tell those who are invited: “Behold:
I have made ready My Banquet –
My oxen and My fatted calves are
killed, and everything is ready.
Come to the Marriage Feast.”’
“But they made light of it and went off
– one to his farm, another to his
business.
“The rest seized His servants, treated
them shamefully, and killed them.
“The King was angry, and He sent His
Soldier to destroy those murderers

Hail, O Impassable Gateway of God the
Lord! Thou art She whom the
Righteous of old clearly foretold:
Prophet Daniel called Thee
‘Mountain Unquarried’ – ‘Bush’ and
‘Jar’ – and ‘Rod’ and ‘Cloud,’ ‘Gate,
and ‘Throne.’ And also by David the
Psalmist and by Moses, and by all
the others Thou were truly called
‘Great Mountain’ - being thus
revealed to us.
Lord, after Thy Resurrection on the
third day, and the worship of the
Apostles, Peter cried out unto Thee:
Women had courage, and I was a
coward! A Thief confessed Thee as
God, but I denied Thee! Will Thou
call me Disciple in future, or will
Thou declare me once again, a Fisher
of the deep? But accept me
repenting, O God, and Save me!

O Lord, although the grave was sealed

did not know when Thou Arose, for

enquire, but the Wonders have been

worship the Mystery that we hymn:

in the Firmament of His Power.

grave clothes behind as evidence of
Thy True Burial for three days; and
Thou went ahead into Galilee, while

Thy Mercy, O Saviour, beyond

Praise Him for His Mighty Acts; praise
Him according to the greatness of
His Majesty.

suffered for our sake, and
approaching, they found an Angel
seated upon the stone rolled back,

and said: The Lord has Risen! Tell
His Disciples that He has Risen: He
Who Saves our souls.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and

O Lord, as Thou came out of the sealed
Tomb, so Thou came in to Thy
Disciples when the doors were shut,
and showed them Thy Body’s
sufferings, which Thou had
