Before Thy Cross we bow down in worship, O Master,
and Thy holy Resurrection we glorify!

About Us

TROPARION
In the Eighth Tone

The image of Thy Cross shone this day
more brightly than the sun,
when Thou didst stretch it out
from the Mount of Olives to Golgotha;
and in manifesting Thy might
contained in that sign, O Saviour,
Thou hast thereby also strengthened the faithful.
Always preserve us in peace,
through the intercessions of the Theotokos,
O Christ our God, and save us.

Heaven, which had been shut, was opened up
as the most honorable Cross dawned upon the earth,
illuminating the heavens with its rays.
Having received the radiance of its splendor,
we are guided in unwaning light;
and in battles we cling to it as a weapon of peace
and invincible triumph.
