Blessed Feast of the
Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ
APOLYTIKION OF THE ASCENSION
Thou hast ascended in glory, O Christ our God, and gladdened Thy Disciples with
the promise of the Holy Spirit, having become confident of the blessing. Verily,
Thou art the Son of God, and Deliverer of the world.
KONTAKION OF THE ASCENSION IN TONE SIX
When Thou didst fulfill Thy dispensation for our sakes, uniting the terrestrials
with the celestials, Thou didst ascend in glory, O Christ our God, inseparable
in space, but constant without separation, and crying unto Thy beloved, I am
with you, and no one shall be against you.
