U You Descended into the Depths of the Earth. You descended into the depths of the earth and shattered the everlasting bars which kept the dead captive. And like Jonah from the whale You arose, O Christ, from the tomb on the third day.

UYou Descended into the Depths of the Earth You descended into the depths of the earthand shattered the everlasting bars which kept the dead captive. And like Jonah from the whale You arose, O Christ, from the tomb on the third day. Glory to Your Holy Resurrection O Lord.You preserved the seals intact O Christwhen You arose from the graveas You did not break the seal of the Virgin in Your birthand You opened for us the gates of paradise. Glory to Your Holy Resurrection O LordO my Savior, the living and unsacrificed offering.As God, of Your own freewill, You offered Yourself to the Fatherand by being resurrected from the graveYour resurrected the entire race of Adam. Christ is risen from the death by death He has trampled upon deathand to those in the tombs He is bestowing life.Jesus having risen from the grave as He foretoldHas bestowed to us eternal life and great mercy. v v v
