Holy Prophet ZACHARIAS and Righteous ELIZABETH (I cent.),

1 Cor. 16, 13-24 Heb. 6, 13-20 Mt. 21, 33-42 Mt. 23, 29-39
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 4
When the women disciples of the Lord learned from the angel the joyous message of Your Resurrection, they cast away the ancestral curse and with gladness told the apostles: death is overthrown. Christ God is risen, granting the world great mercy.
Tropar of the Church, Tone 1
In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls form death.
Tropar to the Prophet, Tone 2
Celebrating the memory of Your righteous ones, Zacharias and Elizabeth, O Lord, through them do we entreat You: Save our souls!
Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 4
My Saviour and Redeemer as God arose from the tomb and delivered the earthborn from bondage. He has shattered the gates of Hades and, as Master, He has risen on the third day.
Glory… Kondak to the Prophet, Tone 3
Today Zacharias, the prophet and high priest of the Most High, the father of the Forerunner, sets the table of his memorial, feeding the faithful; for he has distributed the food of righteousness unto all. Wherefore, he has reposed as a divine initiate of the mysteries of the grace of God.
Now and ever… Kondak of the Church, Tone 2
Neither the tomb nor death had power over the Birth-Giver of God; she is ever watchful in her prayers and in her intercession lies unfailing hope. For as the Mother of Life she has been translated to life by the One Who dwelt within her ever-virginal womb.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 4
How marvelous are Your works, O Lord. In wisdom You have made them all.
Verse: Bless the Lord, my soul. O Lord, my God, You are very great.
Prokimen of the Prophet, Tone 7
The righteous man shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in Him.
Verse: Hearken, O God, unto my prayer, when I make supplication unto You.
Alleluia Verses of the Resurrection, Tone 4
Bend your bow and proceed prosperously, and reign because of truth, meekness and righteousness.
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity.
Alleluia Verses of the Prophet, Tone 7
A light has dawned for the righteous man.
And gladness for the upright of heart.
Communion Hymns
Praise the Lord from the Heavens, praise Him in the Highest. Alleluia (3X).
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise befits the upright. Alleluia (3X)
