2nd Sunday of Pascha - Sunday of the Holy Myrrhbearing Women with the Noble Joseph
and Righteous Nicodemus
May 19

Troparion  Tone 2

The Noble Joseph,
When he had taken down Your most pure Body from the tree,
Wrapped it in fine linen and anointed it with spices,
And placed it in a new tomb.
But You did rise on the third day, O Lord,
Granting the world great mercy.

Troparion  Tone 2

The angel came to the myrrhbearing women at the tomb and said:
Myrrh is meet for the dead;
But Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption!
So proclaim: the Lord is risen,
Granting the world great mercy!

Kontakion  Tone 2

You did command the myrrh-bearers to rejoice, O Christ!
By Your Resurrection, You did stop
        the lamentation of Eve, O God!
You did command Your apostles to preach: The Savior is Risen!
