Kontakion, Tone VIII
Though Thou didst descend into the grave, O Immortal One, yet didst Thou destroy the power of hell, and didst rise again as Conqueror, O Christ our God, saying to the myrrhbearing women, Rejoice! and giving peace to Thine Apostles, and offering to the fallen resurrection.
Exaposieilarion
Having slept in the flesh as a mortal, O King and Lord, Thou didst rise on the third day. Thou didst raise up Adam from corruption and abolish death, O Passover of incorruption, Salvation of the world!
St. Joseph the Hymnographer & St. George of Mt. Maleon
No Troparia are given in the Menaion.
Kontakion to St. Joseph..., Tone IV, "Having been lifted up..."
Thou art an inexhaustible well-spring of repentance/ and an imparter of endless consolation and compunction, O Joseph./ Grant us tears of divine repentance here,/ which shedding we may obtain consolation from God,// asking thine aid, O holy one.
