Magnificat's for:
Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
Liturgy of St Basil the Great
Palm Sunday
Resurrection of Christ
St John Chrysostom
It is truly meet to bless the Theotokos, who is ever-blessed, and all blameless, the Mother of our God. O thou who art more honourable than the cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim, who without corruption didst bear the Word of God, truly thou art the Theotokos, and thee do we magnify.
St Basil the Great
In thee rejoiceth all creation, O thou who art full of grace, the hierarchy of the angels, and all mankind, O consecrated temple and paradise endowed with speech, glory of virginnity, or whom God, who is our God before the ages, was incarnate and become a little child. For he made thy womb a throne, and thy belly did he make more spacious than the heavens. In thee doth all creation rejoice, O thou who are full of grace, and it glorifieth thee.
On great feast days, these magnificats may be replaced by the following:
Palm Sunday: Nasser p741
God the Lord hath appeared unto us; let us celebrate the Feast, and let us rejoice and magnify Christ; and with palms and branches let us raise our voices unto him with praise, saying, Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord our Saviour.
Resurrection of Christ: Nasser p928-989
The Angel spake to her that is full of grace, saying, O pure Virgin, rejoice; and I say also, Rejoice; for thy Son is risen from the tomb on the third day.
Shine, shine, O new Jerusalem; for the glory of the Lord hath risen upon thee. Rejoice and exult now, O Zion, and thou, O pure one, Theotokos, rejoice at the Resurrection of thy Son.
