Two multilingual liturgical puns

The first is that "Agape Vespers" always makes me think of the Evlogitaria:
The angelic host was filled with awe,
when it saw You among the dead.
By destroying the power of death, O Savior,
Thou didst raise Adam, and save all men from hell!
But that's a different "agape".

The other pun, perhaps more obscure, was a response to this comic, which was posted on facebook with the caption, "Oggi ci comporteremmo così con la Resurrezione?"



My response was "Voskresenie Khristovo video-ed". It's not perfect, but I think it's pretty close.
