DESCRIPTION:VESPERS ON SUNDAY EVENING\nAfter the priest has exclaimed\, Ble
 ssed be our God… and the people have responded\, Amen\, the clergy sing 
 the Paschal Troparion once and the people repeat it. Then\, the clergy sin
 g the first half\, and the people conclude it.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 1\n
 \nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness
  is that You may be revered.\n\nAs You did not violate the seals of the to
 mb\,* after Your awesome Resurrection\, O Life-bestower\,* so also in this
  manner\, though the doors were shut\,* You\, O Christ\, entered into the 
 midst of Your all-famed Apostles\,* filling them with joy.* And Your uprig
 ht Spirit\, was granted to them\,* in accordance with Your boundless mercy
 .\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently relie
 s on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWhen You appeared 
 to Your disciples\, O Lord\,* Thomas\, who was also called the Twin\, was 
 not amongst them.* Therefore\, he did not believe in Your Resurrection\,* 
 and he cried out to them that had seen You:* I will not believe that He ha
 s arisen\,* unless I put my finger into His side* and the imprints of the 
 nails.\n\nFrom the morning watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord
 .\n\nChrist exclaimed to Thomas:* As you will\, put forth your hand\, and 
 touch Me.* Know that\, like yourself\, I also have bones and an earthen bo
 dy.* Do not harbour further doubts\;* but rather\, like the others\, belie
 ve in Me.* Then Thomas cried aloud to Him:* You are my Lord and God:* glor
 y be to Your arising!\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him t
 here is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its in
 iquities.\n\nHaving dwelt on earth\, you have united yourself to the incor
 poreal ones\,* and with them you unceasingly minister to the Trinity\, O d
 ivinely blessed Artemon\;* wherefore\, ever comporting yourself as a heave
 nly man\,* you teach mortals the divine wonders of heaven.\n\nPraise the L
 ord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nIllumined
  with divine radiance\, you laid waste to your body with many torments\,* 
 passing over to the immaterial effulgence* wherewith\, by your entreaties\
 , you have dispelled the dark night of the passions\,* enlightening our so
 uls.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth 
 endure.\n\nO hieromartyr\, cease never to pray for those who celebrate you
 r memory with faith* and hymn the many struggles of thy martyrdom\,* that 
 we may be preserved from misfortunes and tribulations* and delivered there
 by from future corruption\,* O martyr Artemon\, preacher of God.\n\nTone 1
 \, Glory… Now…\n\nWhile the disciples were gathered\, and the doors we
 re shut\,* You entered of a sudden\, O Almighty Jesus\, our God.* And stan
 ding in their midst\, You granted them peace\, and filled them with the Ho
 ly Spirit.* You commanded them to tarry\, and in no wise depart from Jerus
 alem* until they be vested with power from on high.* Therefore\, we cry to
  You:* O our Enlightenment and Resurrection and Peace\, glory be to You.\n
 \nGreat Prokeimenon\, Tone 7\n\nWho is so great a God as our God?* You are
  the God who does wonders!\n\nverse: Among the people have You made Your p
 ower known!\n\nverse: And I said: now have I made a beginning: this change
  has been wrought by the right hand of the Most High.\n\nverse: I have rem
 embered the works of the Lord\, and called to mind Your wonders from of ol
 d.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 1\n\nReceive our evening prayers\, O Holy Lord\,* 
 and grant us remission of sins\;* because You alone have revealed* the Res
 urrection to the world.\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned in he
 aven. Behold\, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters\,
  as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our eyes 
 on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nSince the abyss of my tra
 nsgressions is great\, O Saviour\,* and I am sunk grievously in my offence
 s\,* extend to me Your hand and save me\,* as You once saved Peter\, O God
 \,* and have mercy on me.\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us\
 ; for we have been filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the moc
 kery of the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nO Lord\, by the interc
 essions of all the Saints and of the Theotokos\,* grant us Your peace and 
 have mercy on us\,* since You alone are compassionate.\n\nGlory… Now…\
 n\nEight days after Your arising\, O Lord\,* You appeared to Your disciple
 s in the place where they were gathered\,* and You pronounced to them: Pea
 ce be to you.* And You showed Your hands and immaculate side to the doubti
 ng disciple.* Therefore\, believing\, he cried to You:* O my Lord and my G
 od\, glory be to You.\n\nTroparion\n\nTone 4\n\nHaving shared the way of l
 ife of the apostles\,* and having become a successor to their thrones\,* l
 abouring you found the divinely inspired way to contemplation.* Therefore\
 , forthrightly ministering the word of truth\,* you shed your blood for th
 e faith\, O hieromartyr\, Artemon.* Intercede with Christ our God for the 
 salvation of our souls.\n\nTone 7\, Glory… Now…\n\nWhile the tomb was 
 sealed\, O Christ God\,* You dawned as life from the sepulcher\,* and whil
 e the doors were shut\,* You came to Your disciples\, the Resurrection of 
 all\,* renewing a right spirit in us through them\,* according to Your gre
 at mercy.\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON MONDAY MORNING\nAfter the priest has excla
