Myrrhbearer and Equal of the Apostles Mary Magdalene - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “Your tomb, O Savior...”)
You followed Christ Who was born of a virgin for our sake, O revered Mary Magdalene, / keeping His commandments and laws. / Today, as we celebrate your most holy memory, we rejoice in faith, / and by your prayers, we receive the forgiveness of our sins.
Kontakion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “Today the Virgin...”)
Standing gloriously at the Cross of the Savior with many other women, / and showing compassion for the Mother of the Lord, / you shed tears and offered praise crying out: / “What is this strange wonder? He Who holds all creation was pleased to suffer. / Glory to Your power.”
Kontakion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You were lifted up...”)
When God, transcendent in His nature, came into the world in the flesh, O Mary, / He received you as His true disciple as was meet. / For you had all your desire and your love set upon Him; / therefore, you provided many cures for the sick; / and now, translated into the Heavens, you always pray for the world.
