Second Sunday after Pascha (of St Apostle Thomas) (Antipascha) *** Matins / Morning service: 10:15 - 11:00 Divine Liturgy: 11:00 - 13:00 *** Epistle: Acts of the Apostles 5: 12-20 Gospel: John 20: 19-31 *** Apolytikion of Thomas Sunday (Tone 7) "Christ our God, You are the Life that dawned from the grave, though the tomb was sealed. Through closed doors You came to the Apostles. You are the Resurrection of all. And, You renewed us through them with an upright spirit, according to Your great mercy." *** This day is called Antipascha (meaning "instead of Pascha," not "in opposition to Pascha") because with this day, the first Sunday after Pascha, the Church consecrates every Sunday of the year to the commemoration of Pascha, that is, the Resurrection. |
"Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and to those in the tombs He has given life!"
"Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades' power, and You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women, "Hail!" and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up the fallen."
