Prayer before the Icon of Christ (Orthodox tradition)

We reverence your spotless icon, O gracious Lord, and ask forgiveness of our transgressions, O Christ our God. Because of your own good will you ascended the Cross in the flesh, that you might deliver those who you had created from the bondage of the enemy. We cry aloud unto you: you have filled all things with joy, O our saviour, for you came to save the world. Amen

Introduction - Easter Vigil (Latin Rite)

On this most holy night, when our Lord Jesus Christ passed from death to life, the Church invites her children throughout the world to come together in vigil and prayer. This is the passover of the Lord: if we honour the memory of his death and resurrection by hearing his word and celebrating his mysteries, then we may be confident that we shall share his victory over death and live with him for ever in God

Collect for Easter Day 'Common Worship'

Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of  your Son overcame the old order of sin and death to make all things new in him:grant that we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory; to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be praise and honour, glory and might, now and in all eternity
