Entry of Our Lord into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday)
Troparion — Tone 1
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, / You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! / Like the children with the palms of victory, / we cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death: / Hosanna in the Highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Troparion — Tone 4
When we were buried with You in Baptism, O Christ God, / we were made worthy of eternal life by Your Resurrection! / Now we praise You and sing: / Hosanna in the highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Kontakion — Tone 6
Sitting on Your throne in heaven, / carried on a foal on earth, O Christ God! / Accept the praise of angels and the songs of children who sing: / Blessed is He that comes to recall Adam!

Martyr Pausilippus of Heraclea in Thrace
Troparion — Tone 3

Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Pausilippus; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.

“Spanish” Icon of the Mother of God
Troparion — Tone 4
Your Icon, O Virgin Lady, was given to us as an inexhaustible source of miracles, / bestowed upon those who are overwhelmed and afraid, / pouring forth the healing of the afflictions for the sick, / which is a sign of your intercession. / By the Cross of your Son, we conquer our enemies; / and to you, our Queen and Sovereign Lady, / we offer a song of praise.
