Salvation, I will not delay.
Then, 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.”
He had said this, He
showed them His Hands and
His Side.
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 Twin”1 was
not with them when Jesus
came.
The other Disciples therefore told
him: “We have seen the Lord!”

When Daniel stretched his hands
in the pit, he closed the
mouths of the devouring lions;
and the youths, lovers of True
Worship, when they girded
themselves with Virtue,
quenched the power of fire,
crying: Bless the Lord, all you
His Works!
An unhewn Stone, O Virgin,
opposite Thy Mountain was
cut, but not by hand, even
Christ, Who brought together
the separated natures.
Wherefore, we rejoice gladly
and glorify Thee, O Theotokos!
When Thou entered while the
doors were closed, O Lord,
then Thou filled Thine
Apostles with a Holy Spirit,
breathing into them Peace, and
saying unto them: Loosen and
bind sins. And after eight days
Thou showed Thomas Thy
Hands and Thy Side. With him,
therefore, do we cry unto Thee:
Thou art the Lord and God!
TONE 2
Exult, O Nations, and applaud, and
sing in praise with joyful
hearts. And cry to Christ: O
how wondrous and
extraordinary art all Thy Works!
And who is able to declare the
Mighty Deeds that Thou
perform, O Saviour, for Thou
unified our single mind and
consensus in one Holy Church
Assembly.

Old Israel, having passed through
the depth of the Red Sea on
unmoistened feet, defeated the
power of Amalek in the
wilderness, by the hands of
Moses stretched in the form of
a cross.
ODE 3
Thy Church, O Christ, rejoices in
Thee, crying to Thee, Thou,
Lord, art my Strength, my Stay,
and my Refuge.
ODE 4
When the Church saw Thee
elevated on the Cross, O Sun of
Justice, She stood in Her array,
shouting to Thee as is fitting:
Glory to Thy Power, O Lord!
ODE 5
Thou, my Lord, came as Light to
the world, a Holy Light, turning
those who praise Thee away
from abysmal folly.
ODE 6
Church hailed Thee, O Lord,
crying: I will sacrifice to Thee
with the voice of praise,
purified from the vileness of
Satan by the Blood that
dripped from Thy Side,
because of Thy Compassion.
ODE 7
The Abrahamite youths in the
furnace in the land of Persia
burnt with the fervour of True
Worship more than with the
