ANNUNCIATION OF THE MOST HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
ST TIKHON the Patriarch of Moscow and Enlightener of North America
ST JUSTIN Archimandrite of Chelije
GREAT SATURDAY descent into Hades
Troparion of the ANNUNCIATION Tone 4
Today is the beginning of our salvation/ and the manifestation of the mystery which is from eternity./ The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin,/ and Gabriel announces grace./ So with him let us also cry to the Mother of God:/ Rejoice, thou who art full of grace!/ The Lord is with thee.
Troparion of the ANNUNCIATION Tone 4
Today is the beginning of our salvation, / The revelation of the eternal mystery! / The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin / As Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. / Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: / Rejoice, O Full of Grace, / The Lord is with You!
Apolytikion of the ANNUNCIATION Tone 4
Today is the crowning of our salvation and the manifestation of the Mystery which is from eternity; the Son of God becometh the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel announceth the glad tidings of grace: wherefore let us cry out with him to the Mother of God; Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Εὐάγγελος Ἦχος δ´
Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τό Κεφάλαιον, καί τοῦ ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος Μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις· ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ, Υἱός τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καί Γαβριήλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται. Διό καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν· Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.
Troparion of St Tikhon Tone 1
Let us praise Tikhon, the patriarch of all Russia, / And enlightener of North America / An ardent follower of the Apostolic traditions, / And good pastor of the Church of Christ. / Who was elected by divine providence, / And laid down his life for his sheep. / Let us sing to him with faith and hope, / And ask for his hierarchical intercessions: / Keep the church in Russia in tranquility, / And the church in North America in peace. / Gather her scattered children into one flock, / Bring to repentance those who have renounced the True Faith, / Preserve our lands from civil strife, / And entreat God’s peace for all people!
Troparion of St Justin Tone 4
As Orthodox sweetness and divine nectar, Venerable Father* thou dost flow into the hearts of believers as a wealth:* by thy life and teachings thou didst reveal thyself to be a living book of the Spirit, most wise Justin;* therefore pray to Christ the Word* that the Word may dwell in those who honor thee.
Great Saturday Troparion Tone 2
When Thou, the Deathless Life, didst go down to death, then didst Thou slay hell by the lightning flash of Thy Divinity. And when Thou didst raise the dead from the lower world, all the Powers of Heaven cried aloud: Christ our God, Giver of Life, glory to Thee.
Great Saturday Troparion Tone 2
When You did descend to death, O Life Immortal, / You did slay hell with the splendor of Your Godhead, / And when from the depths You did raise the dead, / All the Powers of Heaven cried out, / O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You!

Kontakion of the ANNUNCIATION Tone 8
Queen of the Heavenly Host,/ Defender of our souls,/ we thy servants offer to thee songs of victory and thanksgiving,/ for thou, O Mother of God,/ hast delivered us from dangers./ But as thou hast invincible power,/ free us from conflicts of all kinds/ that we may cry to thee:/ Rejoice, unwedded Bride!
Kontakion of the ANNUNCIATION Tone 8
O Victorious Leader of Triumphant Hosts! / We, your servants, delivered from evil, sing our grateful thanks to you, O Theotokos! / As you possess invincible might, set us free from every calamity / So that we may sing: Rejoice, O unwedded Bride!
Kontakion of the ANNUNCIATION Plagal Tone 4
To thee, the Champion Leader, do I offer thanks of victory, O Theotokos, thou who hast delivered me from terror; but as thou that hast that power invincible, O Theotokos, thou alone can set me free: from all forms of danger free me and deliver me, that I may cry unto thee: “Hail, O Bride without Bridegroom.”
Κοντάκιον. Εὐάγγελος Ἦχος πλ. δ´
Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ τά νικητήρια, ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγράφω σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἔχουσα τό κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον, ἐκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον, ἵνα κράζω σοι· Χαῖρε νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε.
Κοντάκιον. Εὐάγγελος Ἦχος πλ. δ´. Αὐτόμελον
Τὸν ὁμοούσιον Πατρὶ καὶ θείῳ Πνεύματι
Υἱὸν καὶ Λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἁγνὴ συνέλαβες
Τῇ τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐλεύσει τοῦ Παναγίου
Εἰς ἀνάπλασιν βροτείου γένους Ἄχραντε,
Ἀρχαγγέλου σοι φωνὴν κοσμοχαρμόσυνον
Ἐκβοήσαντος, χαῖρε Νύμφη Ἀνύμφευτε.
Kontakion of St Tikhon Tone 3
Today the assembly of New Martyrs / Stands together with us in the Church / And together we raise a festive song / Celebrating the uncovering of the relics of our Hierarch Father Tikhon / Who defeated the enemy and preserved the Faith / While protecting the flock entrusted to him. / For he ever prays for us all / That we may never be deprived of the Love of God.
Great Saturday Kontakion Tone 2
He Who closed the abyss is seen as dead and wrapped in a shroud and spices; He, the Immortal, as mortal is laid in the tomb; women came to anoint Him, and they wept bitterly and exclaimed: This is the ever-blessed Sabbath on which Christ, Who fell asleep, shall rise on the third day.
Great Saturday Kontakion Tone 6
He who shut in the depths is beheld dead, / Wrapped in fine linen and spices. / The Immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mortal man. / The women have come to anoint Him with myrrh, / Weeping bitterly and crying: / “This is the most blessed Sabbath / On which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day!”

Megalynarion of the ANNUNCIATION Fourth Tone 4
The Theotokos, being the living tabernacle of God, shall never be touched by an unclean hand. But the lips of believers shall sing unto her ceaselessly with the voice of angels, crying joyfully, Rejoice, O full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Μεγαλυνάριον. Εὐάγγελος
Νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται Γαβριήλ, τὸ χαῖρε κραυγάζων, μετὰ δέους τῇ Μαριάμ. Ὢ τοῦ ξένου τρόπου, ἐν μήτρᾳ γὰρ ἀχράντῳ, συνείληπται ὁ Πλάστης, σώζων ὃν ἔπλασε.
