Paschal Hymns

The Paschal troparion and opening hymn of the Resurrection canon.

Paschal Troparion

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life.

First Ode of the Paschal Canon

It is the day of resurrection! Let us be illumined for the feast! Pascha! The Pascha of the Lord! From death unto life, and from earth unto heaven has Christ our God led us! Singing the song of victory: Christ is risen from the dead!
