Praise Him, all His Angels; praise

praise is due, O God.

Judgement that is Decreed;
such Glory will be for all His
Holy Ones.
Lord, although Thou stood at the
Judgement Seat being judged
by Pilate, yet Seated with the
Father, Thou were not absent
from Thy Throne; and Risen
from the dead, Thou freed the
world from the slavery of the
stranger, as Thou art full of
pity and Love for mankind.
Praise God in His Saints; praise
Him in the firmament of His
Power.
Lord, although Jews had laid Thee
as a Corpse in a Tomb, yet
soldiers were guarding Thee
as a sleeping King, and they
sealed Thee with a seal as
Treasure%house of Life, but
Thou Arose and granted
Incorruption to our souls.
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty.
Thou hast given us Thy
Cross as a Weapon against the
devil; for he quails and
trembles, unable to
contemplate Thy Power; for
Thou Raised the dead and
made Death of no effect:
therefore, we worship Thy
Burial and Thy Rising.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute
and harp.

And they asked her: “Woman, why
are you weeping?”
replied: “Because they have
taken away my Lord, and I do
not know where they have laid
Him.”
Now when she said this, she
turned around and saw Jesus
standing there, but did not
know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her: “Woman, why
are you weeping? Whom are
you seeking?”
Supposing Him to be the
Gardener, she said to Him: “Sir,
if you have carried Him away,
tell me where you have laid
Him, and I will take Him away.”
Jesus said to her: “Mary!”
She turned and said to Him:
“Rabboni!” (which is to say:
“Teacher”).
Jesus said to her: “Do not cling to
Me, for I have not yet
ascended to My Father; but
go to My Brethren and tell
them: ‘I am Ascending to My
Father and your Father, and
to My God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went and told
