Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν
θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας
καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι
ζωὴν χαρισάμενος.

This is of course a most beautiful book which includes all the corporate prayers and services during Holy Week through Pascha and Agape Vespers.
Commenting on the 2007 printing, it does well until Holy Friday when the Lamentations are severely truncated. Perhaps due to length, as the pages are numbered the same on the Greek page and the English page, it has about 503 pages, so perhaps shortening it was due to length issues.
I can't really speak to the Greek in the book as I don't use it.
There are a few typos on the Scripture readings, like Psalm 103 on page 338.
This is a Greek tradition, so the Agape Vespers doesn't include Hours or Matins.

Highly recommend!!!!
Towards the end, there are some translations that don’t match what is actually said by the Priest, Deacons, and Chanters, but that may just be my parish. The one that bugs me the most is the translation of the Χριστός Ανέστη chant. The English translation is totally out of order.
Overall though, don’t know how’d I’d get through some of the 3+ hour services without this book!
