Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Now and forever more. Amen.

[ENGLISH] When the stone was sealed from the Jews and Your Holy Body was guarded by the soldiers, You arose on the third day, O Saviour, granting life to the world.
For that the heavenly hosts cried out to You, O Donor of life “Glory be to Your Resurrection O Christ”, glory be to Your kingdom, glory be to Your planning, You are the only Lover of mankind.

[ENGLISH] Christ has risen from the dead, trampling down death by His death. And to those who were in the tombs, bestowing them eternal life.

The Cherubim and the Seraphim, the angels : the Archangels, the Principalities : the Thrones, the Dominions : the Lordships and the powers.
Proclaim and say: "Glory be to God in the highest : peace on earth : and good will toward men."

[ENGLISH] Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, Who arose from the dead; have mercy upon us

Glory be to the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit , now and forevermore , Amen. O Holy Trinity, have mercy upon us
