Σήμερον κρεμάται επί
ξύλου, ο εν ύδασι τήν γήν κρεμάσας. (εκ γ').
Στέφανον εξ ακανθών περιτίθεται, ο τών Αγγέλων Βασιλεύς.
Ψευδή πορφύραν
περιβάλλεται, ο περιβάλλων τόν ουρανόν έν νεφέλαις.
Ράπισμα κατεδέξατο, ο εν
Ιορδάνη ελευθερώσας τόν Αδάμ.
Ήλοις προσηλώθη, ο Νυμφίος τής Εκκλησίας.
Λόγχη
εκεντήθη, ο Υιός τής Παρθένου. Προσκυνούμέν σου τά Πάθη Χριστέ. (εκ γ').
Δείξον ημίν, καί τήν ένδοξόν σου Ανάστασιν.
Today is hung upon the Tree, He Who did hang the land in the midst of
the waters.
A Crown of thorns crowns Him Who is King of Angels.
He is wrapped about with the purple of mockery Who wrapped the Heavens with clouds.
He received buffetings Who freed Adam in Jordan. He was transfixed with nails Who is the Bridegroom of the Church.
He was pierced with a spear Who is the Son of the Virgin.
We worship Thy Passion, O Christ.
Show also unto us thy glorious Resurrection."
