What is the troparion of Easter
Like most troparions, this is a short saying that reveals the whole essence of the holiday. Like the troparions of the Lord's feasts (unlike the troparions of other holidays), the Troparion of Easter can often be repeated as a refrain to the verses of the psalm, and can also be used separately (most often three times). Its authorship is unknown. According to the Colored Triodion, it is sung “in voice 5,” but in our time an immense number of melodies have been selected for it.
Troparion:
Christ rose from the dead, trampling death over death, and giving life to those in the tombs.
Kontakion:
Even though thou didst descend into the grave immortal, / but thou destroyedst the power of hell, and thou rose again as the conqueror Christ God, / to the myrrh-bearing women, rejoice: / and in thy apostle Grant peace, // grant resurrection to the fallen.
Some Easter chants
Your Resurrection, Christ the Savior, the angels sing in heaven, and grant us on earth to glorify You with a pure heart.

Easter Kontakion, tone 8:
Even though you descended into the grave, Immortal, you destroyed the power of hell, and you rose again as the Victor, Christ God, to the myrrh-bearing wives: Rejoice! and grant peace to your apostles, give Resurrection to the fallen.

Come, we drink new beer, it is not from the barren stone that the miracle works, but from the incorruptible source, from the tomb that rained Christ, we are established in Nemzhe.
Now everything is filled with light, Heaven and earth and the underworld: let all creation celebrate the rise of Christ, established in Him.
Yesterday I was buried with You, Christ, today I stand with You in resurrection, I was crucified with You yesterday, glorify me Yourself, O Savior, in Your Kingdom.
Theotokos:
I come today to imperishable life, born of the goodness of You, Pure One, and illuminated with all the light. God, Whom you gave birth to in the flesh, from the dead, as you said, having risen and seen, Pure One, rejoice, and exalt Him as God, Most Pure One.
Ipakoi, voice 4:
Having anticipated the morning of Mary, and having found the stone rolled away from the tomb, I hear from the Angel: in the light of the ever-present Being, what are you looking for with the dead, like a man?

Song 4
Irmos:
On divine watch, may the God-speaking Habakkuk stand with us and show us a luminous angel, clearly saying: today is salvation for the world, for Christ has risen, for he is omnipotent.
The male sex, as if Christ had opened the virgin womb, was called: like a man, He was called Lamb: and blameless, for the taste of filth is our Passover, and for the true God is perfect in His words.
Like the one-year-old lamb, Christ, the blessed crown for us, was slain for all, the cleansing Passover, and again from the tomb the red sun of righteousness rose for us.
God-father David, galloping before the hay ark, but the holy people of God, seeing the images of the event, rejoice divinely, as Christ is risen, as omnipotent.
Theotokos: Having created Adam, Your forefather, the Pure One is built from You, and destroy the mortal dwelling with Your death today, and illuminate everything with the divine splendor of the resurrection.

Let us morning the deep morning, and instead of peace we will bring a song to the Lady, and we will see Christ, the Sun of Truth, life shining for all.

Theotokos:
The divine rays and life-giving rays of the resurrection of Your Son, Most Pure Mother of God, are enlightened, and the pious assembly is filled with joy. You did not open the gates of virginity in the incarnation, you did not destroy the seals of the coffin, the King of creation: from where you saw the resurrected, Mother rejoiced.
Song 6
Irmos:
Thou hast descended into the nether regions of the earth and shattered the eternal faiths that contain those bound to Christ, and thou hast risen from the grave for three days, like Jonah from the whale.
Having preserved the signs intact, Christ, you rose from the grave, the keys of the Virgin unharmed at your birth, and you opened the doors of heaven to us.
My Savior, the living and non-sacrificial slaughter, as God Himself brought to the Father by His own will, You resurrected the all-begotten Adam, rose from the grave.
Theotokos:
Elevated from ancient times by death and corruption, Incarnate from Your most pure womb, to the incorruptible and everlasting life, Virgin Mary. Descended into the underworld of the earth, into Your lie, the Pure One, descended, and was infused and incarnated more than the mind, and raised Adam with Him, rose from the grave.
Kontakion, tone 8
Even though you descended into the grave, Immortal, you destroyed the power of hell, and you rose again as a conqueror, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women: Rejoice, and grant peace to your apostles, grant resurrection to the fallen.
Ikos
Even before the sun, the Sun sometimes set in the tomb, leading to the morning, looking for the Myrrh-Bearing Virgin like the day, and crying out to friends to friends: O friends! Come, let us anoint the life-giving and buried body with stinks, the flesh of the Resurrected fallen Adam, lying in the tomb. We come, sweating like wolves, and let us worship, and bring peace like gifts, not in swaddling clothes, but in a shroud, to Him entwined, and we weep and cry out: O Master, arise, grant resurrection to the fallen.
Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless One, we worship Your Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Your holy resurrection: for You are our God, do we know no other to You, we call Your name. Come, all you faithful, let us worship the holy resurrection of Christ: behold, for through the Cross joy has come to the whole world. Always blessing the Lord, we sing of His resurrection: having endured crucifixion, destroy death by death. (Thrice)
Jesus rose from the grave, as He prophesied, to give us eternal life and great mercy. (Thrice)
Song 7
He who delivered the youths from the cave, having become a man, suffers as if he were mortal, and with the passion of death he clothes the mortal in incorruptibility with splendor. God alone is blessed and glorified.
Wives from the world of God-wise follow in your footsteps: Whom, as if dead, I seek with tears, bowing down, rejoicing in the Living God, and Your secret Pascha, O Christ, the disciple of the gospel.
In death we celebrate the mortification, the destruction of hell, the beginning of another eternal life, and playfully we sing of the Guilty One, the only one blessed by the fathers of God and the most glorified.
As truly sacred and all-celebratory, this saving night, and the luminous, light-bearing day, is the herald of the rising of beings: in it, the flightless Light from the grave rose carnally to all.
Theotokos:
Having put to death Your Son, the All-Immaculate Death, today, the life of all mortals remains free for all eternity, One blessed and glorified God of the Fathers. Reign over all creation, having been a man, you entered into Your, God-gracious, womb, and having endured crucifixion and death, you rose again divinely, making us like omnipotent.
Song 8
This is the appointed and holy day, one Sabbath King and Lord, a feast of feasts, and a triumph is a triumph: in it let us bless Christ forever.
Come, new vine birth, divine joy, in the deliberate days of resurrection, let us partake of the Kingdom of Christ, singing Him as God forever.
Lift your eyes around, O Zion, and see: behold, your children have come to you like a divinely bright light, from the west, and the north, and the sea, and the east, blessing Christ in you forever.
Trinity:
Most Holy Trinity our God, glory to Thee. Father Almighty, and Word, and Soul, the three Nature united in hypostases, the Most Essential and the Most Divine, we are baptized in Thee, and we bless Thee forever.
Theotokos:
By You the Lord, Virgin Mary, came into the world and dissolved the womb of hell, granting us mortals the resurrection: with the same let us bless Him forever. Thy Son, the Virgin, has overthrown all the power of death by His resurrection, as the mighty God has exalted us and deified us: in the same way we glorify Him forever.

Theotokos:
According to You, Virgin, we are blessed to be faithful: Rejoice, O door of the Lord, Rejoice, animated city; Rejoice, for for our sake the light has now arisen from You, Who was born from the dead of the resurrection. Rejoice and rejoice, divine door of Light: for Jesus entered the tomb, ascended, shining brighter than the sun, and illuminated all the faithful, joyful to the Lady.

Verse: Let God rise again, and let His enemies be scattered.
The sacred Easter has appeared to us today: the new holy Easter, the mysterious Easter, the all-honorable Easter, the Easter of Christ the Redeemer, the immaculate Easter, the great Easter, the Easter of the faithful, the Easter that opens the doors of heaven to us, the Easter that sanctifies all the faithful.

Come from the vision of the wife of the gospel, and cry to Zion: receive from us the joy of the annunciation of the resurrection of Christ; Show off, rejoice and rejoice, Jerusalem, seeing King Christ from the tomb like a bridegroom, taking place.
Thus, let sinners perish from the presence of God, and let righteous women rejoice.
The myrrh-bearing woman, in the deep morning, appeared at the tomb of the Life-Giver, found an angel, sat on a stone, and said to them: Why are you looking for the Living One with the dead? Why are you crying into the aphids? Go and preach as His disciples.
This day, which the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad on it.
Red Easter, Easter, Lord's Easter! Easter is an honorable blessing for us! Easter! Let us embrace each other with joy. O Easter! Deliverance of sorrow, for from the tomb today, as Christ has risen from the palace, fill the women with joy with the verb: preach as an apostle.
Glory, and now:
Resurrection day, and let us be enlightened by triumph, and embrace each other. By saying, brothers, and to those who hate us, let us forgive all by the resurrection, and let us cry out thus:
Christ rose from the dead, trampling down death by death and giving life to those in the tombs.
How the troparion is sung
The troparion is first performed at the beginning of Matins during the Easter all-night vigil at the end of the procession around the temple, in front of the closed entrance gates of which everyone gathers. Then (at midnight) the clergy and believers take turns singing this troparion, which is then used as a refrain to individual verses from Psalms 67 and 117 (according to Septuagint numbering):
A bishop or priest, in full vestments with a censer and a three-branched candlestick, after shouting “Glory to the Saints” with other clergy:
- The troparion of Easter is sung three times.
- then the choir repeats this troparion three times.
- then the clergy sings the first verse: “May God rise again, and let His enemies be scattered!” (Ps. 67:2)
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- the clergy sings the second verse: “As the smoke disappears, let them disappear!” (Ps. 67:3)
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- the clergy sings the third verse: “So let sinners perish from the presence of God, and let righteous women rejoice!” (Ps. 67:3-4)
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- the clergy sings the fourth verse: “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Ps. 118:24)
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- The clergy sings the chant: “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!”
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- The clergy sings the chant: “And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen!"
- the choir sings the troparion of Easter once
- The clergy sings: “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death upon death!”
- the choir finishes singing: “And to those in the tombs he gave life!”
In the remaining part of the All-Night Vigil, it is sung three times after each song of the canon, at the end of the Easter stichera on the stichera, after the dismissal of Matins, at the beginning and at the end of all Easter hours. At the beginning of the Divine Liturgy, it is repeated again with the same selected verses of the Psalms, and then: at the small entrance, during and after Communion, and at the dismissal of the Liturgy. The same is sung with choruses at the beginning of Vespers, and at the dismissal of Vespers. The same order is maintained throughout Bright Week.
After St. Thomas Week (the next Sunday after Easter), the Easter troparion is either sung or read three times at the beginning of all public services, private services and other prayers instead of the usual invocation of the Holy Spirit, “Heavenly King,” as well as on vacation, during the 39-day Easter after-feast; that is, until the Ascension of the Lord. At the same time, the Troparion of Easter is also sung during the akathists to the Resurrection of Christ.
Liturgical texts for general folk singing: Easter
In many churches in Moscow, parishioners try to sing along; in some churches, “folk singing” is even practiced. You can also participate in worship silently. But in any case, it would be good to understand the liturgical texts, it would be convenient to follow with your eyes the text of the key liturgical chants. We are posting the text for the Easter service.

APOSTOLIC AND GOSPEL READINGS Acts of the Holy Apostles (chap. 1:1-8): The first book, Theophilus, I compiled about everything that Jesus did and taught from the very beginning, until the day when He was taken up, giving commands by the Holy Spirit To the apostles whom He chose, to whom He showed Himself alive, after His suffering, with many proofs, appearing to them for forty days and speaking about the Kingdom of God. And at the meal He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “which you have heard from Me. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after these few days.” So, having gathered together, they asked Him: “Lord, are you at this time restoring the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times and seasons which the Father has established by His authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Hallelujah (three times) You have risen, having spared Zion. The Lord looks down from Heaven to earth. Gospel of John (chapter 1: 1-17) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. It was in the beginning with God. Everything came into being through Him, and without Him nothing came into being that came into being. In Him was life, and life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it. There was a man sent from God; his name is John. He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that through him all might believe. He was not light, but was sent to testify to the Light. There was the true Light, which enlightens every person coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to his own, and his own did not receive Him. And to those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the power to become children of God, who were born neither of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father. John testifies of Him and, exclaiming, says: This was He of whom I said that He who came after me stood before me, because He was before me. And from His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace, for the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Interior “worthy of eating”: the angel is more grace:/ pure will, rejoice!/ And the Packs of the river: Rejoice!/ Your son is resurrected/ Tridneen from the Ground,/ And the pattern erected: // Lyudiy, merry.
Shine, shine,/ new Jerusalem:/ the glory of the Lord/ shines upon you./ Rejoice now/ and rejoice, O Zion./ You, Pure One, rejoice, O Mother of God,// about the rise of Your Nativity. CHRIST IS RISEN!

Like the saints of our father John, Archbishop of Constantinople, Chrysostom, the Catechetical Word on the holy and luminous day of the glorious and saving Christ our God of the Resurrection.
If anyone is pious and God-loving, let him enjoy this good and bright celebration. If anyone is a prudent servant, let him enter rejoicing into the joy of his Lord. If anyone has labored by fasting, let him receive a denarius today. If anyone has eaten from the first hour, let him accept righteous debt today. If anyone comes at the third hour, give thanks and celebrate. If anyone has reached the sixth hour, let him doubt nothing, for he will gain nothing. If anyone has lost even the ninth hour, let him begin without hesitating or fearing anything. If anyone has reached the point, and at the one-numbered hour, let him not be afraid of delay: for this Lord, being of curiosity, accepts the last as he did the first: he gives rest at the one-tenth hour to the one who comes, as he did from the first damn time. And he has mercy on the last, and he pleases the first, and he gives, and he bestows, and he accepts the deed, and he kisses the intention, and he honors the deed, and he praises the proposal. Therefore, all of you enter into the joy of your Lord: first and second, accept the reward. Riches and wretches, rejoice with each other. Abstinence and laziness, honor the day. You who have fasted and those who have not fasted, rejoice today. The meal is complete, enjoy, everyone. The well-fed calf, let no one come forth hungry, all of you enjoy the feast of faith: you all receive the riches of goodness. Let no one weep in misery, for the common Kingdom has appeared. Let no one weep for sins, for forgiveness has risen from the grave. Let no one fear death, for Savior’s death will set us free. Extinguish that which is kept from her. Captivity of hell, Descended into hell. Grieve him by tasting His flesh. And Isaiah, when he received this, cried out: hell, he who has grieved, will shit on you. Be grieved, for you have been abolished. Be upset, for you will soon be insulted. Be grieved, for you have died. Be grieved, for you have been humbled. Be upset, because I am connected. Accept the body and admire it to God. Accept the earth and tear up the sky. It is pleasant even when you see it, and you fall into it when you don’t see it. Where is your sting, death; where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you have fallen. Christ is risen, and the demons have fallen. Christ is risen, and the Angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life lives. Christ is risen, and not one dead man is in the tomb. Christ, having risen from the dead, became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. To him be glory and power, forever and ever. Amen .
