Good One, Lighten with Thy Divine Light the souls of those who come to Thee early and eagerly that they may know Thee, O Word of God, the True God Who Call us from the darkness of iniquities. when I saw the sea of this life aggitated with the tumult of temptations, I hastened to Thy Quiet Haven, crying: Raise my life from corruption! the Angel made the furnace overflow with Dew for the Righteous Youths, burning the Chaldeans by the Command of God, and compelling the usurper to shout: Blessed art Thou, God of our Fathers!

And He said to them: What things? So they said to Him: The things
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word before God and all the people; and how the Chief Priests and our Rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. But we were hoping that it was He Who was going to Redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. Yes, and certain Women of our company, who arrived at the Tomb early, astonished us.

For there is pain and sorrows unseating, gone are the deep sighs in wondrous Eden, of which Christ was Fashioner, BEING, WITH THE FATHER WITHOUT BEGINNING, GOD. the 24th day of this month we Commemorate the First and Second Findings of the Venerable Head of the Holy Prophet Forerunner and Baptist, St John.
