SUNDAY OF THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE FIRST ECUMENICAL COUNCIL: AFTERFEAST OF ASCENSION

 

Troparion of the Afterfeast (Tone 4)
You ascended in glory, O Christ our God, after You filled the Disciples with joy, by promising to send them the Holy Spirit, and You blessed them and established their faith, that You are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.

Resurrectional Troparion (Tone 6)

When the angelic powers appeared at Your grave, the soldiers guarding it feared and became as dead. And standing by the sepulcher was Mary who was seeking Your immaculate body. You devastated Hades, not afflicted by it. You went to meet the virgin, and granted eternal life. You resurrected from the dead. O Lord, glory to You.

Troparion of the Holy Fathers (Tone 8) 

Supremely blessed are You, O Christ our God. You established the holy Fathers upon the earth as beacons, and through them You have guided us all to the true Faith, O greatly merciful One, glory be to You.
