The Samaritan WomanLitya (If the rector desires the Litya, following the sticheron to the Temple, we sing:)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Tone 3(from the Pentecostarion) Today let heaven and earth rejoice exceedingly, for Christ is made manifest, incarnate as a man, that He might deliver Adam and all his race from the curse; and He is magnified by miracles when He comes to Samaria! He Who is clothed in the waters of a cloud, approaches a woman, seeking water. Therefore, O faithful, let us all worship Him,// Who, of His own will, became poor for our sakes in His compassionate counsel!
The Samaritan Woman
Aposticha
Tone 4 (for the Resurrection)
By ascending the Cross, O Lord, You have annulled our ancestral curse. By descending to hell, You have freed the eternal prisoners, granting incorruption to the human race.// Therefore in songs we glorify Your life-creating and saving Resurrection.
(Then the Paschal Stichera with their verses)
Tone 5 (pointed for the adapted Znamenny melody as printed in the Obikhod of 1869 (N. Bakhmetev)
v: Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee from before His face!
Today, a sacred Pascha is revealed to us: a new and holy Pascha, a mystical Pascha, a Pascha worthy of veneration, a Pascha which is Christ the Redeemer, a blameless Pascha, a great Pascha, a Pascha of the faithful, a Pascha which has opened to us the gates of Paradise, a Pascha which sanctifies all the faithful.
v: As smoke vanishes so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire! Come from that scene, O women bearers of glad tidings, and say to Zion: “Receive from us the glad tidings of joy, of Christ’s Resurrection! Exult and be glad, and rejoice, O Jerusalem, seeing Christ the King, Who comes forth from the tomb like a bridegroom in procession!”
v: So the sinners will perish before the face of God. But let the righteous be glad!
The myrrh-bearing women, at the break of dawn, drew near to the tomb of the Life-giver. There they found an Angel sitting upon the stone. He greeted them with these words: “Why do you seek the Living among the dead? Why do you mourn the Incorrupt amid corruption? Go, proclaim the glad tidings to His disciples!”
v: This is the day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Pascha of beauty, the Pascha of the Lord, A Pascha worthy of honor has dawned for us. Pascha! Let us embrace each other joyously! Pascha, ransom from affliction! For today, as from a bridal chamber, Christ has shown forth from the tomb, and filled the women with joy saying: “Proclaim the glad tidings to the Apostles!”
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; Tone 8(from the Pentecostarion) In Your inexpressible dispensation, You appeared on earth, O Christ our God. When the woman of Samaria heard Your words, O Lover of mankind, she left her jar at the well and ran to the town. She said: “Come and see Him Who knew every secret hidden in my heart! Could He be the long-awaited Messiah,// Who will grant us great mercy?”
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
This is the day of resurrection! Let us be illumined by the feast! Let us embrace each other! Let us call “Brothers” even those that hate us, and forgive all by the resurrection, and so let us cry:
“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!” (Once)
(at Great Vespers)
Tone 4 Troparion(Resurrection)
When the women Disciples of the Lord learned from the Angel the joyous message of the Resurrection, they cast away the ancestral curse and elatedly told the Apostles: “Death is overthrown! Christ God is risen,// granting the world great mercy!”
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Tone 8 Troparion(Midfeast)
In the middle of the feast, O Savior, fill my thirsting soul with the waters of piety as You cried to all: “If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink!”// O Christ God, Fountain of our life, glory to You! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (at Vigil)
