 ictory over Hades\,* You ascended the cross so that You might raise up wit
 h Yourself* all those who dwelt in the darkness of death.* Almighty Saviou
 r\, You are free from death* and bestow life by Your divine light.* We\, t
 herefore\, beseech You to have mercy on us.\n\nThe just shall gather aroun
 d me* when You have been good to me.\n\nToday Christ has conquered Death.*
  He has risen from the grave as He had foretold\,* bestowing great joy upo
 n the world.* Therefore\, let us all lift up our voices and sing:* O Fount
  of Life\, O Light whom no one can approach\,* Almighty Saviour\, have mer
 cy on us.\n\nOut of the depths I cry to You\, O Lord\;* O Lord\, hear my v
 oice!\n\nO Lord\, where can we sinners flee from You\,* for You are presen
 t in all creation?* You are present in heaven\, for it is Your dwelling pl
 ace.* Your power prevails in Hades where You conquered Death.* O Master\, 
 Your sustaining hand touches even the depths of the sea.* Where\, then\, c
 an we take refuge except in You?* We\, therefore\, prostrate ourselves bef
 ore You and pray:* O Lord\, risen from the dead\, have mercy on us.\n\nLet
  Your ears be attentive* to the voice of my prayer.\n\nWe exult in Your cr
 oss\, O Christ\,* and we sing the glory of Your resurrection.* For You are
  our God\, and we have no other Lord but You.\n\nIf You mark iniquities\, 
 Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is that You may be revered
 .\n\nGlory to Your might\, O Lord\,* for You have conquered the power of d
 eath.* You have renewed us through Your cross\,* granting us life and inco
 rruption.\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patient
 ly relies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWe forever
  bless the Lord and praise His resurrection\,* for by suffering crucifixio
 n\,* He has destroyed death by His death.\n\nFrom the morning watch until 
 night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nBy Your death and burial\, O Lord\
 ,* You broke asunder the bonds of Hades\;* and by Your resurrection from t
 he dead\,* You enlightened the whole world.* We\, therefore\, exclaim: Glo
 ry to You\, O Lord!\n\nTone 1\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and wi
 th Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from al
 l its iniquities.\n\nYou suffered a multitude of tortures\,* together obta
 ining your holy crowns\, Proclus and Hilary.* Therefore we worthily celebr
 ate your memory\,* praying fervently that you may intercede for us.\n\nPra
 ise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\n
 Proclus\, your body was torn asunder\, * but you obtained eternal glory\, 
 blessed one.* Now that you are in the eternal light of Paradise\,* pray th
 at we who sing to you* may also see this light!\n\nStrong is the love of t
 he Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nLike two fountains o
 f light\, holy passion bearers\, Proclus and Hilary\,* dispel the darkenin
 g of passions* as we sing to you with joy\,* celebrating your memory!\n\nT
 one 6\, Glory… Now…\n\nWho would not call you blessed\, O Virgin most 
 holy?* Who would not sing a hymn of praise* to the glory of your giving bi
 rth without pain or travail?* The Only-begotten Son Himself\,* begotten of
  the Father before all ages\,* was made flesh out of you in a manner* that
  cannot be explained\, O Woman most pure!* And for our sake\, He who is Go
 d by nature* assumed the nature of a man.* He is not divided into two pers
 ons\;* He is understood to have two natures* without commixion or confusio
 n.* O noble and blessed Woman\,* intercede with Him that He may have mercy
  on our souls.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 6\n\nO Christ our Saviour\,* the angel
 s in heaven sing the praises of Your resurrection\;* make us on earth also
  worthy* to extol and glorify You with a pure heart.\n\nThe Lord reigns\, 
 He is clothed in majesty. Robed is the Lord\, and girt about with strength
 .\n\nAlmighty God\, You destroyed the brazen gates and bars of Hades\,* an
 d raised up fallen mankind.* Therefore\, with one accord\, we cry out:* O 
 Lord\, risen from the dead\, glory to You!\n\nFor He has made the world fi
 rm\, which shall not be moved.\n\nChrist willed to renew us from our corru
 ption of old* by being nailed to a cross and placed in a tomb.* When the w
 omen came to anoint His body they tearfully cried out:* O\, what sorrow af
 flicts us!* O Saviour of All\, how could You consent to occupy a grave?* I
 f you truly willed this\, then why did You allow Your body to be stolen?* 
 How were You removed?* What place now conceals Your life-bearing body?* O 
 Lord\, appear to us as You promised* and put an end to our tears.* As they
  were lamenting\, an angel appeared and cried out to them:* Do not weep\, 
 but tell the apostles that the Lord is risen\,* granting sanctification an
 d great mercy to the world.\n\nHoliness befits Your house\, O Lord\, for l
 ength of days.\n\nO Christ\, You were crucified of Your own free will\,* a
 nd by Your burial You imprisoned Death.* As God\, You rose in glory on the
  third day\,* granting life and great mercy to the world.\n\nGlory... Now.
 ..\n\nChrist the Lord\, our Creator and Redeemer\,* came forth from your w
 omb\, O most pure Virgin.* He clothed Himself in our human flesh* to set u
 s free from the original curse of Adam.* Therefore\, O Mary\, we praise yo

 h the angels:* Rejoice\, O Lady\, advocate\, protector\, and salvation of 
 our souls.\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 6\n\nAngelic powers were upon Your tomb* an
 d the guards became like dead men\;* Mary stood before Your tomb* seeking 
 Your most pure body.* You captured Hades without being overcome by it.* Yo
 u met the Virgin and granted life.* O Lord\, risen from the dead\,* glory 
 be to You!\n\nGlory... \n\nYour holy martyrs Proclus and Hilary\, O Lord\,
 * through their sufferings have received their incorruptible crowns from Y
 ou\, our God!* For having Your strength\, they laid low their adversaries\
 ,* and shattered the powerless boldness of demons.* Through their interces
 sions\, save our souls!\n\nNow...\n\nO Mother of God\, the mystery hidden 
 from all eternity* and unknown even to the angels\,* was revealed through 
 you to those on earth:* God took on our human nature* and united it to His
  divine nature in a perfect but unconfused union.* Then\, He willingly acc
