Great and Holy Thursday
Troparion — Tone 8
When the glorious disciples were enlightened / at the washing of their feet before the supper, / then the impious Judas was darkened, ailing with avarice / and to the lawless judges he betrays You, the righteous Judge. / Behold, O lover of money, this man who because of money hanged himself. / Flee from the greedy soul which dared such things against the Master. / O Lord, who is good towards all men, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “Seeking the things on high...”)
With his hands the betrayer receives the Bread. / With his hands he secretly receives the silver, / the price of Him who fashioned man with His hands; / so the servant and deceiver Judas remains depraved.
The Annunciation of our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary
Troparion — Tone 4
Today is the beginning of our salvation, / the revelation of the eternal mystery! / The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin / as Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. / Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: / Hail, O Full of Grace, / the Lord is with You!
Kontakion — Tone 8
O Victorious Leader of Triumphant Hosts! / We, your servants, delivered from evil, sing our grateful thanks to you, O Theotokos! / As you possess invincible might, set us free from every calamity / so that we may sing: Hail, O unwedded Bride!
