1. Remember me when
Thou comest in Thy kingdom, O God my Savior, and save me, for Thou alone lovest
mankind.
2. By a tree was Adam
deceived; yet again by the Tree of the Cross was the thief saved, who cried
out: Remember me in Thy kingdom, O Lord!
3. O Bestower of
life, Who hadst broken down the gates and portals of
hades, Thou hast saved all who cry out to Thee, O Savior: Glory to Thine
arising!
4. O Thou Who by Thy
burial hast made death captive, and by Thy resurrection hast filled all with
joy: remember me, in that Thou art compassionate.
5. The myrrh-bearing
women who came to the tomb heard an angel cry out: Christ, Who
hath enlightened all things is risen!
6. Together let us
all hymn Christ, Who was nailed to the Cross and hath
delivered the world from beguilement.
7. The Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit let us glorify, saying: O Holy Trinity, save Thou our souls!
8. O Virgin, who ineffably conceived in the latter days and gavest birth unto thy Creator: Save those who magnify thee!
Troparia
Tone 6: Angelic hosts were above Thy tomb, /
and they that guarded Thee became as dead. /
And Mary stood by the grave seeking Thine immaculate
body. /
Thou didst despoil hades and wast not tempted by it. /
Thou didst meet the Virgin and didst grant us life. //
O Thou Who didst rise from the dead, O Lord, glory be to
Thee.
[Troparion of the Temple]
Glory…Tone 4: In his sufferings, O Lord, /
Thy martyr Callinicus received an imperishable crown from Thee, our God; /
for, possessed of Thy might, /
he set at naught the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. //
By his supplications save Thou our souls.
Both now… Tone 4: The
mystery hidden from before the ages /
and unknown even to
the angels, /
through thee, O
Theotokos, hath been revealed to those on earth: /
God incarnate in
unconfused union, /
Who willingly
accepted the Cross for our sake /
and thereby raising
up the first-formed man, //
hath saved our souls from death.

Kontakia
Tone 6:
Having by His life bestowing hand raised up all the dead
out of the dark abysses, /
Christ God, the Giver of life, hath bestowed the
Resurrection upon the fallen human race;/
for He is the Savior of all, //
the Resurrection, and the Life, and the God of all.
[Kontakion

Glory... Tone 2: The beautiful things of heaven /
hast thou now inherited as is meet; /
for, greatly aflame with the love of Christ, /
thou didst manfully brave the fire therewith, O Callinicus. /
Standing now before Him, //
cease not to pray in behalf of us all.
Both now... Tone
6: O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, /
O mediation unto the Creator unfailing, /
disdain not the suppliant voices of sinners, /
but be thou quick, O good one, to help us who in faith
cry unto thee; /
hasten to intercession and speed thou to make
supplication, //
thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor
thee.
