Rejoice, O Sacred Head of St John.
Thou art resplendent, and revered by
Angelic Hosts. O old Thou were by
sword cut, for by Thy cutting
reproofs Thou cut off the same of
Immortality. O Wellspring of
Miracles, Thou refresh the Believers
all. The Saving Advent of the
Saviour Thou heralded. And in
former times Thou observed as the
Spirit flew down at the Baptism of
Christ, and how It remained on Him.
Thou mediated between both the Old
and New Covenant of Grace. To
Christ pray intently, and beseech
that His Great Mercy be granted to
our soul.
Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and flute.
Hidden inside a silver case for many
years, the Sacred Head of the
Forerunner was manifestly recovered
out of the bowels of the Earth, and it
gushes forth with the Streams of
Miracles. Indeed in the Jordans
streas he had Baptised the Head of
Christ, the Lord Who showers Gods
Forgiveness on mortal man, and Who
covers aloft with waters, as David
said: Therefore, let us proclaim as
Blessed this truly All Lauded Head,
and let us Joyfully keep Feast and
celebrate its discovery, as it now
Entreats Christ and beseeches Him
to grant His Great Mercy to the
world.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.
Here is the Holy Forerunners Head that
had announced the Lamb of God in
the Flesh appeared. By means of
Divine Instructions that it
proclaimed, it affirmed the Salvific
Ways of Repentance to all. Because
it had formerly censured Herods
iniquity, this Head was cut off from
the body of Prophet John, and then

O Lord, although the Tomb was sealed
by lawless men, Thou came from the
Sepulchre as Thou had been born
from the Theotokos; Thy Bodiless
Angels did not know how Thou had
become Incarnate, the soldiers
guarding Thee did not know when
Thou Arose, for both are sealed for
those who enquire, but the Wonders
have been revealed to those who
with Faith worship the Mystery that
we hymn: Grant us Joy and Great

O Lord, having smashed the Eternal
Bars and burst bonds asunder, Thou
Rose from the Tomb, leaving Thy
grave clothes behind as evidence of
Thy True Burial for three days; and
Thou went ahead into Galilee, while
being guarded in a cave. Great is
Thy Mercy, O Saviour, beyond
understanding: have Mercy on us!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts; praise
Him according to the greatness of
His Majesty.
O Lord, the Women ran to Thy Tomb to
see Thee, the Christ Who had
suffered for our sake, and
approaching, they found an Angel
seated upon the stone rolled back,
with fear but he cried out to them
and said: The Lord has Risen! Tell

Mary stood outside the Tomb weeping,
and as she wept she stooped down
and looked into the Tomb, and she
saw two Angels in white sitting - one
at the head and the other at the feet
- where the Body of Jesus had lain.
And they asked her: Woman, why are
you weeping?
She replied: Because they have taken
away my Lord, and I do not know
where they have laid Him.
Now when she said this, she turned
around and saw Jesus standing
there, but did not know that it was
Jesus.
Jesus said to her: Woman, why are
you weeping? Whom are you
seeking?
Supposing Him to be the Gardener, she
said to Him: Sir, if you have carried
Him away, tell me where you have
laid Him, and I will take Him away.
Jesus said to her: Mary!
She turned and said to Him: Rabboni!
(which is to say: Teacher).
Jesus said to her: Do not cling to Me,
for I have not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My Brethren and
tell them: I am Ascending to My
Father and your Father, and to My
God and your God.
Mary Magdalene went and told the
Disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that He had spoken these things
to her.
