The Lord said to his disciples, “Beware of men; for they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. This will be a time for you to bear testimony. Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death; you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.” [RSV]

See the grave clothes in the sepulcher. Run and proclaim to the world that the Lord has risen and put death to death; for He is the Son of God who saves the human race.”

Though You went down into the tomb, O Immortal One, yet You brought down the dominion of Hades; and You rose as the victor, O Christ our God; and You called out “Rejoice” to the Myrrh-bearing women, and gave peace to Your Apostles, O Lord who to the fallen grant resurrection.

Ἀρτίως γὰρ ἐκ γῆς τὰ λείψανα ὑμῶν ἀνεδείξατε, ὡς ἄνθη πανεύοσμα, καὶ θησαυροὺς θείους κοσμοποθήτους, μαρτυρικῆς πεπληρωμένα δωρεᾶς καὶ χάριτος, πλείστοις δὲ ἀνθρώποις, τοῖς ἐγγὺς καὶ τοῖς μακράν, ἐν ὁράσεσι καὶ ἐνυπνίοις, καὶ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον παραδόξως ὀπτάνεσθε· οἵτινες θεωροῦντες τὴν δόξαν ὑμῶν, δόξαν ὡς Ἀθλητῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, χαίρουσι χαρὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ εὐαγγελίζονται πᾶσιν, ἃ εἶδον καὶ ἤκουσαν παρʼ ὑμῶν, συγκαλοῦντες πάντας πρὸς αἶνον ὑμῶν, ὑψηλῇ φωνῇ λέγοντες· Δεῦτε ἐν μιᾷ σπουδῇ καὶ φωνῇ, τοὺς ἤδη παραδόξως ἀποκαλυφθέντας ἡμῖν, ὡς ἡμῶν προστάτας, καὶ θαυματουργοὺς Ὁσιομαρτυρας πάντες τιμήσωμεν.

You lived together in concord as honorable clergy in the Monastery of Karyes, and there you competed as martyrs according to the rules. By the ineffable decision of the Judge of the games, the Logos and Giver of life, you remained hidden underground for many years, O most wonderful devout monastic Martyrs. But then, how amazing was your miraculous appearance, your strange discovery, and your abundant grace! For not so long ago, your relics came up from the earth, like fragrant flowers and divine treasures that are cherished throughout the world, filled with gifts and grace of martyrdom. You amazingly appear in wakeful visions and in dreams, face to face to many people near and far. When they behold your glory, glory proper to Athletes of Christ, they rejoice with greatest joy, and they proclaim to all what they have seen and heard from you. And they invite everyone to sing your praise, and in a loud voice they exclaim: “Come all, joining voices let us earnestly extol these holy Martyrs who were wondrously revealed to us, for they deserve our praise, as wonder-workers, protectors and patron saints.” [SD]

Δεῦτε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, γνῶτε τοῦ φρικτοῦ μυστηρίου τὴν δύναμιν· Χριστὸς γὰρ ὁ Σωτὴρ ἡμῶν, ὁ ἐν ἀρχῇ Λόγος, ἐσταυρώθη διʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἑκὼν ἐτάφη, καὶ ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν, τοῦ σῶσαι τὰ σύμπαντα. Αὐτὸν προσκυνήσωμεν.

Χαρᾶς τὰ πάντα πεπλήρωται, τῆς ἀναστάσεως τὴν πεῖραν εἰληφότα· Μαρία γὰρ ἡ Μαγδαληνή, ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα ἦλθεν, εὗρεν Ἄγγελον ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον καθήμενον, τοῖς ἱματίοις ἐξαστράπτοντα καὶ λέγοντα· Τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν; οὐκ ἔστιν ᾧδε, ἀλλʼ ἐγήγερται, καθὼς εἶπε, προάγων ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.

The universe is filled with joy since it experienced Your resurrection. Mary Magdalene came to the tomb. She found an Angel sitting on the stone. He was shining like lightning in dazzling apparel, and he said, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here; for He has risen, as He said. He is going before you to Galilee.” [GOASD]

O Grecian island of Lesbos, exult and dance for joy, * for your own holy Martyrs have been strangely discovered. * And shout to them with joy, and salute them, “Rejoice, * Raphael and St. Nicholas! * To us the faithful you recently were revealed * as our patrons and our pride and joy.” [SD]

O Raphael, wondrous martyr, the son of Ithaca, * you were a monk on Lesbos, where you also were martyred. * Now with the unearthing of your divine * holy relics you hallow it; * and by your many appearances you bestow * on the faithful God’s divine saving grace. [SD]

Στίχ. Θαυμαστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ, ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ.

You served the Savior as deacon piously, Nicholas. * Again for Christ you bravely did compete as a Martyr * with holy Raphael and the virgin Irene. * You were hidden for many years. * But you have famously risen, and now you shine * on the world like most luminous stars. [SD]

Στίχ. Τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ ἐθαυμάστωσεν ὁ Κύριος, πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτοῖς.

Verse: To the saints on His earth, in them the Lord magnified all His will. [SAAS]

The sacred hill of Karyes has become like Mt. Zion, * where signs from God and wonders have been strangely occurring. * Come all, let us go there with ardent faith * and pay honor and venerate * St. Raphael and St. Nicholas and Irene, * and the others who were martyred there. [SD]

Verse 1: Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from before His face.

Πάσχα ἱερὸν ἡμῖν σήμερον ἀναδέδεικται· Πάσχα καινόν, Ἅγιον· Πάσχα μυστικόν· Πάσχα πανσεβάσμιον· Πάσχα Χριστὸς ὁ λυτρωτής. Πάσχα ἄμωμον· Πάσχα μέγα· Πάσχα τῶν πιστῶν· Πάσχα τὸ πύλας ἡμῖν τοῦ Παραδείσου ἀνοῖξαν· Πάσχα, πάντας ἁγιάζον πιστούς.

Today a sacred Pascha has been revealed to us; a Pascha new and holy, a Pascha mystical, a Pascha all-venerable, Pascha, the Redeemer Christ himself; a Pascha that is blameless, a Pascha that is great, a Pascha of believers, a Pascha that has opened for us the gates of Paradise, a Pascha that sanctifies believers all. [SD]

Στίχ. βʹ. Ὡς ἐκλείπει καπνός, ἐκλιπέτωσαν· ὡς τήκεται κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρός.

Verse 2: As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish, as wax melts before the fire.

Δεῦτε ἀπὸ θέας Γυναῖκες εὐαγγελίστριαι, καὶ τῇ Σιὼν εἴπατε· Δέχου παρʼ ἡμῶν χαρᾶς εὐαγγέλια, τῆς Ἀναστάσεως Χριστοῦ· τέρπου, χόρευε, καὶ ἀγάλλου Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὸν Βασιλέα Χριστόν, θεασαμένη ἐκ τοῦ μνήματος, ὡς νυμφίον προερχόμενον.

Come now from that sight, O you women and heralds of good news, and say to Zion, “Receive from us the joyful tidings of the Resurrection of Christ. O Jerusalem, be exultant, dance and leap for joy, for you have witnessed Christ the King coming forth as a Bridegroom from the sepulcher.” [SD]

Στίχ. γʹ. Οὕτως ἀπολοῦνται οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ. Καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι εὐφρανθήτωσαν.

Verse 3: So shall the sinners perish from the face of God. And let the righteous be glad.

Αἱ μυροφόροι γυναῖκες, ὄρθρου βαθέος, ἐπιστᾶσαι πρὸς τὸ μνῆμα τοῦ Ζωοδότου, εὗρον Ἄγγελον, ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον καθήμενον, καὶ αὐτὸς προσφθεγξάμενος, αὐταῖς οὕτως ἔλεγε· Τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν; τί θρηνεῖτε τὸν ἄφθαρτον ὡς ἐν φθορᾷ; ἀπελθοῦσαι κηρύξατε τοῖς αὐτοῦ Μαθηταῖς.

The myrrh-bearing women at dawn very early, standing outside the tomb of the Giver-of-Life, found an Angel who was seated upon the stone. And the Angel addressed them, and this is what he said, “Why do you seek among the dead the One who is alive? Why do you grieve as though corruptible the Incorrupt? So go back and proclaim it to His Disciples.” [SD]

Στίχ. δʹ. Αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα, ἣν ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ.

Verse 4: This is the day the Lord made; let us greatly rejoice and be glad therein.

Πάσχα τὸ τερπνόν· Πάσχα Κυρίου, Πάσχα· Πάσχα πανσεβάσμιον ἡμῖν ἀνέτειλε· Πάσχα ἐν χαρᾷ ἀλλήλους περιπτυξώμεθα· ὦ Πάσχα, λύτρον λύπης· καὶ γὰρ ἐκ τάφου σήμερον, ὥσπερ ἐκ παστοῦ, ἐκλάμψας Χριστός, τὰ Γύναια χαρᾶς ἔπλησε λέγων· Κηρύξατε Ἀποστόλοις.

Pascha of delight! Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha! A Pascha all venerable has risen for us. Pascha! With joy let us embrace one another. Pascha, the ransom from sorrow! Today from the sepulcher Christ emerged resplendently as from a bridal chamber, and the women He filled with joy, saying, “Proclaim this to the Apostles.” [SD]

After you competed according to the rules, you were glorified in heaven worthily, O glorious devout Martyrs. Then, after you were hidden for many years, you appeared, and you made known to us the rich rewards of the glory you received, by virtue of signs and wonders, and so many revelations, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, for the welfare and salvation of the faithful. And now, O Martyrs of Christ, you are the glory and support of the Church, O Raphael the wonder-worker, and Nicholas the Deacon, and Irene the virgin, and your other fellow Martyrs.
