Before the morning, even about Mary, and the founding stone was rolled away from the grave, I hear from the Angel: in the light of the everlasting Susha, with the dead, why are you looking for a man? You see the grave shroud, preach and preach to the world, as the Lord has risen, who has killed death, as the Son of God who saves the human race.
Kontakion:
Even if thou hast descended into the grave, Bezsmertne, but thou hast destroyed the power of hell, and thou art raised as the Conqueror, Christ God, to the myrrh-bearing wives: Rejoice!
In the grave you are flat, in hell with a soul like God, in paradise with a robber, and on the Throne you were, Christ, with the Father and the Spirit, do everything, undescribed.

Like the Life-bearer, like the most reddened paradise, verily and the devil of every king's most radiant, Christ, Thy tomb, the source of our Resurrection.
And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen:

Come, all faithful, let us worship Christ's holy resurrection, for behold, joy has come through the Cross to the whole world. Always blessing the Lord, we sing of His resurrection, for He endured crucifixion and crushed death with death. (3)
The wives who came with Mary before dawn and found the stone rolled away from the tomb heard from the Angel: "In the eternal light of the One who abides, what do you seek among the dead as a man? Look at the burial shroud, run and proclaim to the world that the Lord has risen, having killed death, for He - Son of God saving the human race! "
Although Thou didst descend into the grave, Immortal One, you destroyed the power of hell and rose again as a conqueror, Christ God, exclaiming to the women-bearers: "Rejoice!" and giving peace to your apostles, you who give resurrection to the fallen.
In the grave with flesh, and in hell with a soul like God, in paradise with the robber and on the throne you were, Christ, with the Father and the Spirit, filling everything, infinite.
Glory: Your tomb, Christ, the source of our resurrection, was the bearer of life, truly the most beautiful paradise, and of every royal palace.

Christ rose from the dead, trampling death upon death, and giving life to those in the tombs. (3)
The temple is already ukrushen and ready for service,but everyone needs to get out of it. And the doors must be closed... Now in our minds the temple is the Life-Giving Tomb of the Savior. And we ourselves go to him, as once the myrrh-bearing wives.
Solemn ringing

The world is based on the week. The number six indicates the created world, and the number seven reminds that the created is covered with blessing. Here is the key to understanding the Sabbath celebration. On the seventh day, i.e. on Saturday, God blessed what He had created, and, resting on Saturday from daily affairs, a person had to reflect on the works of the Creator, praise Him for arranging everything wonderfully. On Saturday, a person was not supposed to show power
___________
Without faith in the Risen Christ, there is no Christianity. That is why all opponents of our faith are persistently trying to shake the truth of the Resurrection.
The first objection: Christ did not die on the cross: He only fell into a deep swoon, from which he later woke up in a cave, got up from His bed, rolled a huge stone from the door of the tomb and left the cave ... To this ...

From the day of Holy Easter to the Feast of the Ascension (40th day), the Orthodox greet each other with the words: "Christ is Risen!" and answer "Truly He is Risen!"
EASTER HOURS
ABOUT PARTICIPATION
BRIGHT WEEK
All Bright Week are the brightest days of the church year, when the Divine Liturgy is served every day with the Royal Doors open. And only in this week (week), after each after each Divine Liturgy, a procession with the cross with an icon, Banners, Artos is performed.
One-day fasts are canceled on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The tradition of celebrating Easter for forty days was established in memory of the stay of Jesus Christ on earth after his Resurrection . The time from the bright Day of Christ to the Ascension, which completes the earthly incarnation of the Savior, is a very special period in the liturgical cycle of the Orthodox Church and in the everyday life of Christians. Rituals, images, symbolic rites of the temple service are filled with new content, revealing to the laity the endless distances of spiritual perfection. On these bright days, instead of a prayer for the forgiveness of sins, words are heard about the triumph of the Savior over death.
The entire period from the Resurrection of Christ to the Ascension of the divine services are held according to special rules specified in the Triodi - the church book of three-song canons. The list of certain texts included in the prayer book, or prayer rule, in Easter week prescribes to read the hours of Easter instead of morning, evening prayers, Compline and Midnight Office.
Other features of prayer and services for the first Easter week.
- Those preparing for communion instead of the canons of repentance to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos, read the canon of Easter, Follow-up to Holy Communion.
- Three times reading of the troparion of Easter precedes all prayers, including thanksgiving for communion, while the psalter is not read.
- One should not bow down to the ground either in the church, or during home prayer (this rule persists until the Trinity).
The reading resumes on Monday of the second week:
- regular morning and evening prayers;
- canons to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, Guardian Angel;
- followings to holy communion.
Until the Ascension, they continue to read the Easter troparion three times instead of praying to the Holy Spirit, the refrain and irmos of the ninth canon of the Easter canon ("The angel cries out") - instead of "It is worthy." According to the recollections, all weeks before the onset of the Ascension refer to the glorification of the risen Christ, who sent down the Holy Spirit to the apostles and followers.
Morning prayer rule
The advent of the bright Day of Christ, changing the way of life of the Orthodox layperson, makes differences in the usual daily private, or home, worship. Ordinary prayers, containing praise, thanksgiving, repentance and petition, are modified to express the deepest reverence for the holy feast and your understanding of the biblical events that followed the Resurrection of Christ.
In Orthodoxy, the prayer basis of the hours (a short divine service established by church canons) is made up of psalms, as well as the troparia and kontakia (hymns that reveal the meaning of the holiday) corresponding to the current day.
When the hours are traditionally performed
The Easter morning rule (the hours separating Easter Matins from the Liturgy) is not read as usual, but sung. In this case, not psalms are taken as a basis, but festive chants: three times they sing "Christ is Risen," "Christ is Risen".
The morning rule from Easter to Ascension has distinctive features only during the light week. With the beginning of the second week after the Resurrection of Christ, the Orthodox return to fulfilling the usual morning prayer rule, which includes three texts: they read Our Father three times and the Virgin Mary, Rejoice, once - the Symbol of Faith.
Evening prayer rule
According to the Orthodox tradition, one should pray in private in the evening every day. The Holy Church recommends reading the most necessary doxologies for the coming night: "Our Father", kontakion to the Mother of God, prayers to the Guardian Angel, St. Macarius the Great to God the Father, St. Ioannikia.
The Easter evening prayer rule has its own characteristics: it is replaced by the hours of Easter to mark and highlight this most important period for believers. At the same time, the text and the sequence of reading are completely identical to the Easter morning rule. After the light week, the usual prayers are resumed at the end of the day.
However, one should pay attention to the following peculiarity: the evening rule from Easter to Ascension includes an appeal to the Holy Spirit, while the "Heavenly King" is replaced by the troparion "Christ is Risen", despite the fact that both prayers are addressed to the same hypostasis God. This is explained by the fact that any prayer rule is built on the experience of the church, which must be listened to: the holy fathers believe that prayer to the Holy Spirit as a free conversion of a person's soul to God has a more personal character, and the "King of Heaven" has always been the beginning of a general worship.
The celebration of the Bright Resurrection of the Lord continues, albeit with less solemnity, until the end of Easter - the divine service on the eve of the Ascension. On this day, Vespers and Matins are served in churches in full light, liturgy is held at the open royal gates, stichera, praise and greetings for the Easter rite sound, as well as hymns dedicated to the pre-celebration of the Ascension.
Traditionally, on the eve of Ascension, the last Easter procession in the cycle is held. This is how the forty-day period of the great holiday ends, in order to reveal to the world the symbol of eternal life again in a year.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfill everything, Treasure of the good and life to the Giver, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save our souls, Beloved.
From Easter to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the troparion is read:
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and giving life to those in the grave . (Three times)
From the Ascension to the Trinity, we begin the prayers with "Holy God ...", omitting all previous ones.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Three times)
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquity; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Your name's sake.
Lord have mercy. (Three times)
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we also leave our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Tropari
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us; every answer is bewildering, this Ti prayer like the Lord of sin we bring: have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us, in You with hope; Do not be angry with us, remember our iniquities below, but look after and now, as if he is gracious, and deliver us from our enemies; Thou art our God, and we are Thy people, all works Thy hand, and we call on Thy name.
And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.
Open the doors of mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, hoping in Thee, may we not perish, but may we get rid of Thy troubles: Thou art the salvation of the Christian race.
Lord have mercy. (12 times)

An angel cries out more gracefully: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And pack the river: rejoice! Thy Son is risen three days from the grave and raised up dead; people, have fun!

Prayer of Saint John Damascene
Vladyka Human-loving, will this coffin be a bed for me, or will you enlighten my cursed soul in the afternoon? Seven coffin lies ahead, seven death lies ahead. I am afraid of Thy judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not cease doing evil: I always anger the Lord my God, and Thy Most Pure Mother, and all Heavenly powers, and my holy Guardian Angel. We, O Lord, as I am not worthy of Thy humanity, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want, or I don’t want, save me. If you save the righteous, nothing great; and if you have mercy purely, it is nothing wondrous: deserve the essence of your mercy. But amaze Thy mercy on me as a sinner: about this, reveal Thy love of mankind, may my malice not prevail over Thy ineffable goodness and mercy: and as you like, arrange a thing about me.
Enlighten my eyes, Christ God, but not when I fall asleep into death, and not when my enemy says: Strengthen yourself against him.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Wake up the protector of my soul, O God, as in the midst of many nets I walk; deliver me from them and save me, Blazhe, like a Humanitarian.
And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to the Honest Cross
May God rise again, and scatter him, and let those who hate him flee from his presence. Yako smoke disappears, yes disappear; as if wax melts from the face of fire, so let demons perish from the face of those who love God and who are marked by the sign of the cross, and in joy say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-giving Cross of the Lord, drive away demons by the power of the prophesied Lord Jesus Christ on you, who descended into hell and corrected the power to the devil, and who gave us to you His Honest Cross to drive out every adversary. Oh, Most Honorable and Life-giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Lady the Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

Notes:
- Printed in italics (explanations and names of prayers) is not read during prayer.
- When it is written "Glory", "And now", it is necessary to read in full: "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit", "And now and ever and forever and ever." Amen"
- In the Church Slavonic language there is no sound e, and therefore it is necessary to read “we call”, not “we call”, “yours”, not “yours,” “mine,” and not “mine,” etc.
