English:

Golgotha in Hebrew and Calvary in Greek : the place where You were crucified. O Lord You stretched Your hands and they crucified two thieves with You : on Your right and on Your left and You in the middle : O Good Saviour.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The right thief cried saying: "Remember me O Lord : remember me O Saviour : remember me O King : when You come in Your Kingdom." The Lord answered him in a humble voice: "Today you will be with Me in My Kingdom."

Now and forevermore : amen.

The righteous Joseph and Nicodemus came and took Christ's Body and placed on It ointment : wrapped Him and placed Him in a tomb. They praised Him saying: "holy God : holy almighty : holy immortal : Who was crucified for us : have mercy upon us."

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We also worship Him saying : "have mercy on us O God our Saviour" : Who was crucified on the cross : trample down satan under our feet.

Save us and have mercy. Lord have mercy : Lord have mercy : Lord bless amen : give the blessing : we prostrate : absolve us : and give the blessing.
