I have rivalled in transgression Adam the first-formed man, and I have found myself stripped naked of God, of the eternal Kingdom and its joy, because of my sins.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

Woe to thee, miserable soul! How like thou art to the first Eve! For thou hast looked in wickedness and wast grievously wounded; thou hast touched the tree and rashly tasted the deceptive food.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

Instead of the visible Eve, I have the Eve of the mind; the passionate thought in my flesh, showing me what seems sweet; yet whenever I taste from it, I find it bitter.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

Grant to us, O Master, when we depart for sleep, rest for body and soul; and protect us from the murky sleep of sin and from all dark pleasures of the night. Calm the impulses of passion, and quench the fiery darts of evil, which are treacherously cast against us; check the turbulence of our flesh and lull all our earthy and mundane thoughts. And grant to us, O God, a watchful mind, a prudent reason, a vigilant heart, and sleep tranquil and free from all evil imaginings. And raise us up at the hour of prayer strengthened in Your commandments and holding the remembrance of Your judgments unshaken within us.

The hosts of angels were amazed and dazzled when they beheld You, O Savior, among the dead destroying the power of Death, raising up Adam with You and releasing all the souls from Hades.

The radiant angel standing by the grave cried out to the ointment-bearing women: Why do you lament and mingle your tears with the spices? Look upon the grave and rejoice, for the Savior is risen from the dead.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me your commandments.

The ointment-bearing women hastened very early to your grave. But the angel stood by them and said: The time for lamenting is no more. Do not cry, but go and announce the Resurrection to the disciples.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me your commandments.

O Savior, the ointment-bearing women came to your grave with ointments, and they heard the angel say to them: Why are you seeking the Living One among the dead? Indeed, He is God. He is risen from the dead.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

IKOS 1
An Archangel was sent from heaven to greet the Mother of God, and as he saw You assuming a body at the sound of his bodiless voice, O Lord, he stood rapt in amazement and cried to her in these words:

Hail, O you through whom joy will shine forth;
Hail, O you through whom the curse will disappear!

Hail, O Restoration of the fallen Adam;
Hail, O Redemption of the tears of Eve!

Hail, O Peak above the reach of human thought;
Hail, O Depth even beyond the sight of angels!

Hail, O you who have become a kingly throne;
Hail, O you who carries Him who carries all!

Hail, O Star who manifests the Sun;
Hail, O Womb of the divine incarnation!

Hail, O you through whom creation is renewed;
Hail, O you through whom the Creator becomes a babe!

Hail, O Bride and Maiden ever-pure!

IKOS 2
Knowing that she was a virgin, the Blessed One courageously answered the angel: "Your surprising words seem hard for my mind to accept. How can you speak of a birth that is to come from a conception without seed? And why do you cry, Alleluia?"
