The angelic council was amaz’d....
Then the stichera of pascha, with their verses.
Glory. Both now.
It is the day of resurrection.... and Christ is risen.... thrice.
And these stichera having been sung, the customary kiss of him that hath fallen asleep taketh place, saying,
Christ is risen.
And after the stichera the customary diaconals for them that have fallen asleep with the prayer, which is read with a loud voice by the archpriest, or the priest, nigh unto the remains.
And he exclaimeth,
For thou art the resurrection and the life....
