"Truly this woman is the abode of heaven."

As Many as Have Been Baptized into Christ, Have Put on Christ

The Waters of Baptism

While the stone was sealed by the Jews and the soldiers were guarding Thy most pure body, Thou didst arise on the Third Day, O Saviour, granting life to the world.

For which cause the heavenly powers cried aloud unto Thee, O Giver of Life; Glory to Thy resurrection, O Christ; glory to Thy kingdom; glory to Thy providence, O thou Who alone art the Lover of mankind

Matthew 18:3
