Great & Holy Saturday-Prokeimenon & Epistle

Arise, O Lord my God, let thine hand be lifted up; forget not thy needy ones till the end.
Verse: I will confess thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell all thy wonders.
Brethren, do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree", that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
