True Light has appeared and bestows Enlightenment on all. Christ Who is above all purity is Baptised with us; He brings Sanctification to the water and it becomes a cleansing for our souls. That which is outward and visible is earthly, that which is inwardly understood is higher than Heaven. Salvation comes through washing, and through water the Spirit: by descending into the water we ascend to God. Wonderful are Thy Works, O Lord: Glory to Thee!

appeared today to the inhabited earth, and Thy Light, O Lord, has shone upon us, who with understanding sing Thy praise: Thou came and shone forth, O Light Unapproachable! Galilee of the Gentiles, upon the land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim, as the Prophet said, a Great Light has shone Who is the Christ. To those who sat in darkness a Radiant Dawn has appeared as Lightning from Bethlehem. The Lord Born from Mary - the Sun of Righteousness -spreads His Rays upon the whole inhabited earth. Come then, naked children of Adam, and let us put on Christ so that we keep warm, for Thou Who art a Protection and Veil to the naked, and a Light to those in darkness, Thou came and shone forth, O Light Unapproachable! the 6th day of this month, we celebrate the Holy Theophany of our Lord and God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
