Kontakion of Mary Magdalene When God, who is transcendent in essence, Came with flesh into the world, O Myrrhbearer, He received you as a true disciple, for you turned all your love toward Him. Henceforth you would yourself work many healings. Now that you have passed into heaven, never cease to intercede for the world!

Blessing of the Eggs O Lord Our God, Creator of the Universe, bless these eggs, symbol of the Resurrection of Your Christ. In Your bounty bless those who offered them, those who prepared them, and those who partake of them. Preserve them from evil. Fill them with Your magnificent gifts and Your bounty, which is beyond measure. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
