The whole world was amazed AT

THY REVERENT DORMITION: for Thou, O Virgin, Who hast not known wedlock, hast been Translated from earth to the Eternal Mansions to the Life without end, bestowing Salvation upon all who sing Thy praises. we celebrate this Sacred and Solemn Feast of the Theotokos, let us come, clapping our hands, O people of the Lord, and give glory to God Who was Born of her. Holy Children bravely trampled upon the threatening fire, preferring not to worship created things rather than the Creator, and they sang in Joy: Blessed art Thou and praised above all: O Lord God of our Fathers! Praise, we Bless and we Worship the Lord!

the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the Disciples were assembled for fear of the Judeans, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be with you. When He had said this, He showed them His Hands and His Side. Then the Disciples were glad to see the Lord. So Jesus said to them again: Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you. And He breathed upon them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the

sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained. Now Thomas, one of the Twelve who was called the Twin1 was not with them when Jesus came. The other Disciples therefore told him: We have seen the Lord! So he said to them: Unless I see in His Hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His Side, I will not believe.

Jesus came, the doors being shut,

and stood in the midst, and said: Peace to you! Then He said to Thomas: Reach your finger here, and look at My Hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My Side, and do not be unbelieving, but believing. Thomas answered and said to Him: My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him: Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. And truly Jesus did many other Signs in the presence of His Disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, you may have Life in His Name.

Thou had ransacked the Palaces of Hades and raised the dead, O Longsuffering, Thou met the Myrrh bearing Women, bringing them Joy instead of sorrow; and to Thine Apostles Thou revealed the Symbols of Thy Victory, my Saviour: Giver of Life: and Thou Enlightened Creation, Lover of Mankind! Therefore, too, the world rejoices AT THY RISING FROM
THE DEAD, O MOST MERCIFUL!
