SUNDAY TROPARIA with the Theotokos, Hypakia, Kontakia, Dogmatics, Prokeemnas and Alleluia.

Voice 1

Troparion: I was sealed with stones from the Jews, and by the warriors who cared for your most pure body, you rose again for three days, O Savior, granting life to the world. For this reason, for the sake of the power of heaven, I cry out to You, O life-giver: glory to Your kingdom, glory to Your vigilance, the only one who loves mankind.

Theotokos: I told Gabriel to you, O virgin: Rejoice, O Lord of all, incarnated with a voice, in your holy ark, just as the righteous David said: you have appeared, the broadest of heavens, reproaching your creator. Glory to him who dwells in you: glory to him who has passed from you, glory to him who freed us through your birth.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: World glory from man who vegetated and gave birth to the Lord, the heavenly door, let us sing to the Virgin Mary, the ethereal song and the fertilizer of the faithful. This is why heaven and the temple of the Divine have appeared. Having destroyed this barrier of enmity, peace was introduced and the Kingdom was opened. This is the affirmation of faith, the champion of the Imam of the Lord who was born from Her. Be brave, be brave, people of God, for He will defeat the enemies, for He is omnipotent.

Ipakoi: Robber repentance stole paradise, and cry to the myrrh-bearing women to proclaim the joy that you have risen, O Christ God, grant great mercy to the world.

Voice 2

Troparion: When you descended to death, immortal belly, then you killed hell with the brilliance of the deity. When you raised those who had died from the underworld, all the powers of heaven cried out: O life-giver, Christ our God, glory to Thee.

Theotokos: All more than meaning, all the glorious is yours, Mother of God, the sacraments, sealed in purity, and preserved in virginity, the Mother knew that you are not false, having given birth to the true God: pray to him for the salvation of our souls.

On the Vererni, the dogmatist is the Mother of God: The canopy of the law has passed, grace has come, just as the bush was not scorched, so the Virgin gave birth: instead of a pillar of fire, the righteous sun rose; Instead of Moses, Christ is the salvation of our souls.

Ipakoi: Out of passion, going into the tomb of your wife, to anoint your body, O Christ God, you saw the angels in the tomb and were horrified: for I heard a voice from them, as if the Lord had risen, granting great mercy to the world.

Theotokos: We sing of thee who interceded for the salvation of our race, O Virgin Mother of God: for in the flesh thy son, and our God, received from thee, let us receive the passion of the cross, deliver us from aphids, as a lover of mankind.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: Why do we not marvel at Your divine birth, most honorable one, for we did not accept the temptations of a manly man, the all-immaculate one; You gave birth to a son in the flesh without a father, born from the Father without a mother, who underwent no change or confusion or division, but both creatures retained the same properties. With the same Mother of the Virgin Lady, pray to Him for the salvation of the souls who confess Thee to the Orthodox Mother of God.

Ipakoi: Surprising with vision, watering with verbs, the shining angel to the myrrh-bearing women said: what are you looking for in the living tomb; Who has exhausted the graves, understand the aphid who is the unchangeable, cry out to God: since Thy deeds are terrible, for Thou hast saved the human race.

Voice 4

Troparion: The disciples of the Lord brought away the bright resurrection sermon from the angel, and rejected the ancestral condemnation, the apostle boasting with the verb: death has been cast away, Christ God has risen, granting great mercy to the world.

Theotokos: Hedgehog hidden from the ages, and unknown to the angels of the sacrament, by you, the Mother of God, who appeared on earth as God, in an unfused union we incarnate, and by the will of us we will accept the cross: by whom, having resurrected the primordial, you saved our souls from death.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: For Your sake, the Godfather, the prophet David, proclaimed in song about You, Who has done greatness to You: the queen has appeared at Your right hand. You are the Mother, the Intercessor of the life of the show; without a father, from You the benevolent God will become human, so that he may again renew his image, which has been decayed by passions. And the sheep found the lost pea-eater, we will take it to the Father, bring it to the Father with his will with heavenly powers, and save the Mother of God, the world, Christ having great and rich mercy.

Voice 5

Troparion: Let us sing and worship the Co-original Word to the Father and the Spirit, born of a virgin for our salvation: for it was your grace to take the flesh to the cross, and to endure death, and to raise the dead by your glorious resurrection.

Theotokos: Rejoice, impenetrable door of the Lord: Rejoice, wall and cover of those who flow to you: Rejoice, unstormed refuge, and unartificed, who gave birth to the flesh of your Creator and God: pray not to be poor for those who sing and bow to your Nativity.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: In the Chermny Sea, an image of an unartificial bride is sometimes painted. There is Moses the divider of water, and here is Gabriel the minister of miracles; Then the depth of the procession was unfathomable for Israel, but now the Virgin gave birth to Christ without seed. The sea, after the passing of Israel, remained impassable; the Immaculate Sea, after the Nativity of Emmanuel, remained imperishable. This one and this one before, appear as a man, O God, have mercy on us.

Kontakion (similar to: Co-original Word:):

You descended to hell, my Savior, and you crushed the gates as if you were omnipotent, you resurrected the dead like the Creator, and you crushed the sting of death, and Adam was delivered from the oath to be more philanthropic. We also call everyone: save us, Lord.

Voice 6

Troparion: The angelic forces are upon Thy tomb, and the watchers are dead, and Mary stands in the tomb, seeking Thy most pure body. Thou hast captivated hell without being tempted by it: thou hast met a maiden, granting life. Risen from the dead, Lord, glory to You.

Theotokos: You named Your Blessed Mother, you came to the passion of your free will, having risen on the cross, even to seek Adam, saying by the angel: rejoice in me, for the lost drachma has been found. Having arranged everything wisely, our God, glory to Thee.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: Who will not please You, Most Holy Virgin? Who will not sing of Your most pure Nativity? Flightless is the Only Begotten Son from the Father. The same pure one passed from You, indescribably incarnated. He is God by nature and man was by nature for our sake. Not divided into two in person, but inseparably cognizable into two in nature. Pray to him, O Pure One, All-Blessed One, to have mercy on our souls.

Ipakoi: By your free and life-giving death, O Christ, having destroyed the gates of hell, as God, you opened for us the ancient paradise, and rose from the dead, and delivered our belly from corruption.

Voice 7

Troparion: Thou hast destroyed death by Thy cross, Thou hast opened paradise to the thief, Thou hast offered to mourn the myrrh-bearers, and Thou hast commanded the apostle to preach: for Thou hast raised up, O Christ God, granting great mercy to the world.

Theotokos: Like our resurrection, raise the treasure of our resurrection from those who hope, all-singing, from the pit and the depths of sins: for you have saved those guilty of sin, who gave birth to our salvation: even before the Nativity a virgin, and at the Nativity a virgin, and after the Nativity again a virgin.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: Thou art known to the Mother more than nature, the Mother of God: but Thou art the Virgin, more than words and reason, and the tongue cannot tell the miracle of Thy Nativity. I am glorified for the essence of conception, Pure, the image of birth is incomprehensible: where God wills, the order of nature is overcome. By the same to You, the Mother of God, who knows everything, we pray diligently: pray for our souls to be saved.

Ipakoi: Whoever perceived our form and endured the cross carnally, save me by Thy resurrection, O Christ God, as a lover of mankind.

Voice 8

Troparion: Thou hast descended from on high, O thou of grace, Thou hast accepted a three-day burial, that thou mayest free us from passions: our life and resurrection, O Lord, glory to Thee.

Theotokos: Who for our sake was born of a virgin, and endured the crucifixion, the good one, overthrew death with death, and the resurrection was revealed, as God, do not despise what you created with your hand: show your love for mankind, mercifully, accept the Mother of God who gave birth to you, praying for us, and save , Our Savior, desperate people.

At Vespers, the dogmatist - the Mother of God: The King of heaven, for his love for mankind, appeared on earth, and lived with men: for he received pure flesh from the Virgin, and passed from Her with the perception: There is One Son, in essence, but not in hypostasis, in the same perfection of that God and the perfect man, truly preaching, we confess Christ our God: pray to Him, O Blessed Mother, to have mercy on our souls.

Bright Sermon of the Resurrection.
Tone Four Saturday night, Sunday morning

The Mother of God Dogmatist: “For Your sake, the Godfather, the prophet David, proclaimed in song about You, Who has done greatness to You: the queen has appeared at Your right hand. You are the Mother, the intercessor of the life of the show, without a father from You the benevolent God will become human, so that His image, decayed by passions, will again be renewed, and the lost pea-eater will find a sheep, we will take it to the frame, bring it to the Father, and unite His will with the heavenly forces, and save “O Mother of God, peace, Christ, have great and rich mercy.” — The Prophet David, who through You, Mother of God, became the father of God (i.e., the ancestor of the Savior, since the Virgin Mary came from the line of David), magnified You and proclaimed You in song (Greek “melodikos”) (in the 44th Psalm) about You: “The Queen stood at Your right hand” (Ps. 44:10). For You were revealed by God as the intercessor of life, Who deigned to become man without a father from You, in order to renew His image (i.e., man, who was created in the image and likeness of God), which had been corrupted (lit. “decayed”) by passions, and who was lost and kidnapped in the mountains (i.e., stolen or eaten by wild predators in the mountains, where livestock was often grazed in the east), taking a sheep (i.e., a person who has fallen away from God through sins), he will bring it to the Father and to Himself, uniting it with the heavenly powers (angels), and the Virgin Mary will save the world, Christ, possessing enormous wealth of mercy.

Stichera on verse. “Lord, having ascended to the Cross, Thou hast taken our ancestral oath, and having descended into hell, Thou hast freed eternal prisoners, granting incorruptibility to the human race, for this sake, singing, we glorify Thy life-giving and saving uprising.” - Lord, by ascending to the Cross, You destroyed the curse of our ancestors (Adam and Eve), and by descending into hell, You freed those imprisoned there forever, granting incorruption to humanity, so we singly glorify Your saving uprising (Resurrection).

Sunday Troparion

“The disciples of the Lord heard the bright resurrection sermon from the angel, and rejected the condemnation of their forefathers, the apostle boasting with the verb: death has been vanquished, Christ God is risen, granting great mercy to the world.” — The bright (brilliant) sermon (message, Greek “kyrygma”) about the resurrection, the disciples of the Lord (the myrrh-bearing wife), having learned from the angel and rejecting the forefathers’ condemnation, announced to the apostles: death has been destroyed, Christ God has risen, bestowing great mercy on the world.

Canon at Matins. Irmos of the 1st canto: “Crossing the red abyss with wet feet, ancient Israel, walking on foot, defeated the power of Amalek in the desert with the cruciform hands of Moses.” — The ancient Israelites crossed the dry depths of the Red Sea and, because Moses folded his hands in a cross shape, defeated the power of the Amalekites in the desert. - This irmos recalls the battle of the Jews under the leadership of Moses with the Amalekite tribe in Rephedim (Ex. 17: 8-16), during their forty years of wandering in the desert. During this battle, Moses ascended to the top of the hill, and when he raised his hands, “Israel prevailed, and when he lowered his hands, Amalek prevailed” (Ex. 17:11). Troparion 2nd. “In the tomb carnally, in hell with the soul like God, in paradise with the thief, and on the throne you were Christ, with the Father and the Spirit, fulfilling everything indescribable.” — This troparion confesses the mystery of the omnipresence of God, the Savior’s God-manhood. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered on the cross and was buried as a Man and as God abided in eternity as the Second Person of the Holy Trinity with God the Father and the Holy Spirit and descended into hell for the liberation of all the righteous who had previously died.

Troparion of the 3rd canto: “The serpent sank its teeth filled with poison into me, but You, the Almighty Lord, crushed them with Your wounds from the nails of the crucifixion, because there is no Holy One among the saints, greater than You, Lover of Mankind.”

Irmos of the 6th canto: “I will devour Thee with a voice of praise, Lord, the Church cries out to Thee, having been cleansed of the blood of demons, for the sake of mercy the blood flowed from Thy side.” “I will offer You a sacrifice with a voice of praise, Lord,” the Church cries to You, cleansed of demonic blood (literally - blood from a wound, infected blood), by the grace of the blood flowing from Your ribs (after the death of the Savior on the Cross, one of the soldiers pierced Him with a spear and blood and water flowed from the wound).

Irmos of the 8th canto: “Daniel stretched out his hand, the gaping lions in the den: having quenched the fiery power with virtue, the zealous youths, girded with piety, crying: bless all the works of the Lord the Lord.” - In the ditch, Daniel stopped the lions' mouths with a movement of his hand, and the youths, zealots of piety, girded with virtue, extinguished the power of the fire, crying out: Bless all the works of the Lord. - Here we recall the events described in the book of the holy prophet Daniel in the third chapter.

Irmos of the 9th canto: “The uncut stone from the uncut mountain, the Virgin, the cornerstone cut off for you, Christ, the aggregator of the dispersed nature. Thus we magnify You, the Mother of God, who rejoices.” — From the indivisible mountain (i.e. from the Virgin Mary, the “uncut mountain” is a metaphor indicating the impossibility of childbearing for the Virgin), a miraculous one was separated (indicating the unmarried birth of the Savior and the cornerstone (i.e., the most important) Stone - Christ, united in His divine-human personality the previously distant (in the spiritual sense) human and divine beings. Therefore, we joyfully magnify You, Mother of God!

Sunday night, Monday morning

Irmos of the 1st song of the canon at Matins: “Three hundred strong, born of the Virgin, dispassion in the depths, flood the tripartite soul, I pray that as in the tympanum, in the mortification of the body, I will sing a victorious song.” — Tristati is a word from the Greek translation of the Bible, which was also included in its Church Slavonic translation. This word denoted teams of war chariots, consisting of three fighters: a coachman, a shooter and a shield bearer. It was these chariots that chased the Jews and were sunk by divine power at the bottom of the Red Sea (Ex. 15). In this Irmos, the events of the Jews crossing the Red Sea are only implied. The ailments of the soul are compared here with “strong tristates” - “tripartite soul” - obviously an allusion to the thought of the holy Apostle John the Theologian about the three main vices of the soul: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). In this irmos we call upon the “Born of the Virgin” (i.e. the Lord Jesus Christ) to drown our soul vices in the “depth of dispassion”, so that, having mortified flesh (and the lust of the flesh), as on a tympanum (musical instrument), we will sing A song to God.

Monday evening, Tuesday morning.

The repentant stichera on the Lord cried out: “My soul! Be jealous of the Canaanite woman, touch Christ and cry often: Have mercy on me, O Master! I have a child - disorderly, raging flesh. Take away from her, I pray, and having quenched her disorderly leaps, make her dead with your fear through the prayers of the Most Pure One who gave birth to You, Christ and all the saints, O Most Merciful Benefactor!

Tuesday night, Wednesday morning

At Matins, troparion of the 6th song of the canon of the Mother of God: “The field that has grown the divine ear, do not despise my soul, weakened and exhausted from hunger for divine deeds, but nourish it with the divine grace of Your Son.”

Wednesday evening, Thursday morning.

At Matins, the troparion of the 6th song of the canon to the holy apostles: “God’s chosen sheep, scattered throughout the world, through faith transformed all the brutality of wolves into the meekness of lambs.”

Thursday evening, Friday morning

At Matins, the troparion of the 8th song of the canon of martyrs: “All-red martyrs! As on a chariot you mounted on your blood, and were taken to the worldly (abodes), receiving from Christ worthy honors, “Sing to the Lord” - crying out - “and exalt them to all ages!”

Friday night, Saturday morning

At Matins the stichera on the poem: “For those who believe in You, death is a dream, because You, laid in the tomb, possessing everything, destroyed the power of death and abolished its many years of violence. We pray to You: make the dead in the joy of Your saints and in the lordship of the righteous!”

Deacon Pavel Bubnov, candidate of theology

Sunday voice 4

Troparion

The Lord’s disciples heard the sermon of the Bright Resurrection/ from the Angel/ and rejected the ancestral condemnation,/ the apostle boasted of the verb:/ death has been proven,/ Christ has risen May God grant the world great mercy.

Theotokos

Hidden from time immemorial, / and an unknown mystery by the Angel, / By you, Mother of God, God appeared to those who exist on earth, / in unfused union we embody, / and the Cross will be accepted for our sake, / In whom we have resurrected the primordial nnago, // saved our souls from death.

Kontakion

My Savior and Deliverer / from the grave, like God, / resurrected from the bonds of earthly birth, / and crushed the gates of hell, / / and like the Lord is risen for three days.

"Bright Resurrection Sermon"

We offer readers of the website Pravoslavie.Ru a theological and philological analysis of the Sunday troparion and kontakion of the 4th tone.

Troparion and kontakion are prayer chants that succinctly reveal the essence of the celebrated event. Therefore, of course, the main theme of the chants discussed below is the Resurrection.

Below is a theological and philological commentary on the Sunday troparion and kontakion of the fourth tone.

First, we present the texts of the troparion and kontakion in Church Slavonic.

Troparion:

The Lord's disciples heard the bright sermon of the Resurrection from the angel and rejected the ancestral condemnation, the apostle boasting with the verb: death has been vanquished, Christ God has risen, granting great mercy to the world.

Kontakion:

My Savior and Deliverer from the grave, like God, resurrected from the bonds of the earth, and crushed the gates of hell, and like the Lord is risen three days[1].

The Greek original is like this.

Troparion:

Τὸ φαιδρὸντῆςἈναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκτοῦἈγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦΚυ ? όλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον。 , δωρούμενοςτῷκόσμῳτὸμέγα ἔλεος.

Kontakion:

Ὁ Σωτὴρ καὶ ῥύστηςμου, ἀπὸ τοῦτάφου, ὡςΘεὸςἀνέστησεν, ἐκτῶνδε ?? τριήμερος[2].

We will also offer translations of the chants into Russian.

Troparion:

Having learned from the Angel the bright news of the resurrection and freed from their ancestral condemnation, the Lord’s disciples, triumphant, said to the apostles: “Death has been cast down, Christ God has risen, giving great mercy to the world!”

Kontakion:

My Savior and Deliverer, from the grave, like God, raised those born on Earth from their shackles, and smashed the gates of hell and, like the Lord, rose again on the third day.

The good news of the Resurrection

The text of the troparion begins with the phrase bright resurrection sermon. The Church Slavonic adjective light has a special meaning, inherent in the Russian language only in part, “glorious, joyful, cheerful”[3].

It is not difficult to remember the events preceding the Resurrection of Christ. The disciples, seeing their Teacher being taken into custody, fled in fear. They were overcome by horror and inner devastation, because the apostles saw in Christ the earthly Lord, to whom all the kingdoms of the world would certainly submit. Imagine the joy of the apostles when they learned that Jesus Christ was alive and that He had risen.

The word angel is of Greek origin and in Church Slavonic is the result of transliteration, that is, the exact transfer of signs of one script by signs of another [4], from the Greek language. The angel (άγγελος - from Greek “messenger” [5]) is at the tomb and awaits the first people who, at the end of the Sabbath, will hasten to visit the Body of Jesus. He was sent by God for a reason, because through the angel the disciples of Christ - the myrrh-bearing women - are the first to know about the Resurrection.

What did the Resurrection give?

Reading the text of the troparion, we come across the not entirely clear expression of the ancestral condemnation. The fact is that the adjective great-grandfather in Church Slavonic means “ancestral”[6]. The text of the song refers us to the events described in the book of Genesis: the ancestral sin and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden are remembered (Genesis 3).

The noun condemnation in the original text corresponds to ἀπόφασις - literally “a sentence passed by a court”[7]. This is where the figurative meaning of “condemnation” comes from: we are talking about the judgment of God, which condemns the first two people - Adam and Eve. The phrase προγονικόςἀπόφασις means “hereditary sentence passed on the ancestors”[8].

Thus, the troparion also carries a dogmatic meaning: through Jesus Christ, humanity got rid of the essence, the mask of original sin, which blocked man from entering heaven.

Myrrh-Bearing Women and Apostles

It is worth paying attention to the antithesis embedded in the text of the troparion. The apostles, the closest disciples of Christ, are contrasted with His disciples - the myrrh-bearing women. The original text of the troparion contains the feminine aorist participle μαθοῦσαι, which helps determine that we are not talking about disciples, but about disciples of Christ. In the Church Slavonic text, this requires immersion in the context. The antithesis device again reminds us of the different characters, different faiths of the apostles and myrrh-bearers. The latter, who seemingly occupied a secondary place next to the Savior, turned out to be more persistent and faithful to Christ. As a reward for this, they are the first to see the Teacher again and announce His Resurrection.

The followers of Christ, boasting, that is, triumphing [9] (from the Greek καυχάομαι), repeatedly tell their disciples about what they saw. Not all the apostles immediately believed the myrrh-bearers, so they claim that Christ has risen and that they saw Him with their own eyes. This is evidenced by the imperfect form of the predicate verb-verb, which is correlated with the characters – women. The type of past tense under consideration is associated with an imperfect form, and the event described by it is always associated with some progression and periodicity[10]. The Church Slavonic text of the troparion, as well as the Greek, reflects this detail.

What do the companions of Christ talk about?

The next semantic passage of the troparion is the words of the myrrh-bearing women: Death has been cast away, Christ God has risen, granting great mercy to the world. The original speaks about the overthrow of death as follows: Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος. Ἐσκύλευται is a Greek aorist in the passive form, formed from the verb σκυλεύω. In Greek, the above verb means “to remove weapons and armor from a slain enemy”[11].

Death is thus defeated and deprived of its weapon.

Death is defeated and deprived of his weapons

Christ is risen God - ἠγέρθηΧριστὸς ὁ Θεός. It is unusual that in this case the event of the Resurrection is conveyed through the aorist ἠγέρθη, whereas usually the active aorist ἀνέστη is used in the indicated meaning (from ἀνίστημι - get up, rebel, rise [12]). For example, it is present in the text of the Sunday kontakion of the same fourth voice: ἀνέστητριήμερος (Risen of three days). The aorist ἠγέρθη, translated into Church Slavonic as resurrected, is formed from the verb ἐγείρω - “to awaken, to rise”[13].

So, Christ was awakened from death, in other words, resurrected, and thereby did great things, i.e. great mercy.

Miracle of Resurrection

The text of the Sunday kontakion is relatively small. Its content seems to complement the theme of the Resurrection of the Savior. The chant reminds us of the event of the resurrection of many dead at that moment when the curtain in the Jerusalem temple was torn in half - and resurrected from the bonds of earthly birth. This marked the beginning of a new era in the relationship between God and man. The passage of the chant parallels the following passage from the Gospel:

“The coffins opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were resurrected, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many” (Matthew 27:52-53).

In the kontakion, the deceased are called earth-born - literally those whom the Earth gave birth to. From the context it is clear that we are talking about the resurrection of the dead.

In addition, the prayer tells that the Lord crushed the gates of hell. The Greek verb συντρίβω, translated into Church Slavonic to crush, means “to crush into pieces, to abolish, to break through”[14]. Thus, the Savior crushes the gates of hell into pieces, breaks through them, leading righteous people from the bosom of Abraham to the heavenly abode for an eternal reign with Christ.

In the troparion of the 6th tone

it is sung about the consternation of the guards who guarded the tomb and saw the appearance of the Angels, and about Christ’s disciple, Mary Magdalene, who came to look for the dead body of the Lord and did not find it.

Streguschii - watchers, guardians.

+ After the Sabbath had passed, at dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came and another Mary looked at the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for the Angel of the Lord, who descended from heaven, came, rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb and sat on it; his appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow; Frightened by him, those guarding them trembled and became as if they were dead; The angel, turning his speech to the women, said: Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus crucified; He is not here - He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay, and go quickly, tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there. Behold, I have told you (Matthew 28:1-7). And Mary stood at the tomb and cried. And when she cried, she bent down into the tomb, and saw two Angels sitting in white robes, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus lay. And they say to her: wife! Why are you crying? He says to them: They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him (John 20:11-13).

Thou hast met a virgin, granting life... The line of the troparion turns us to the continuation of the events of the Gospel of John: to the meeting of Jesus with Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-18). She is called here a virgin (neither the Gospel nor the life of St. Mary Magdalene, Equal-to-the-Apostles, tells us anything directly about the age and marital status of the saint at the time of the Gospel events; but the Greek word παρυένος - virgin - like the modern girl, was also used to designate a young woman in general - one whose marital status is not indicated by anything). Often in this troparion the word “virgin”

written with a capital (capital) letter, as referring to the Blessed Virgin Mary; but with this understanding, the troparion does not lend itself to any satisfactory explanation.

Thou hast captivated hell... In the Greek text of the troparion - disarmed.
