“Lord Jesus Christ, our God, in the living light unapproachable, this radiance of the glory of the Father and the image of His hypostasis!” When the fulfillment of times has come, You have belittled you for your unspeakable mercy to the fallen human race, the sight of the slave has taken hold of you, humbled you to Yourself, obedient to being even to death.

Both before the Cross and your free passions on the Mount of Taboros were transformed in His Divine Glory before Your holy disciples and Apostles, little concealing the perception of the flesh, that when You will be seen crucified, and you will be betrayed to death, they will understand Your wretched suffering free and Godhead.

Grant us all, too, with the most pure of Your Flesh Transfiguration, with a festive, pure heart and unfavorable minds, to reach out to Your Holy Mountain, to the villages of Your holy glory, to the voice of those who celebrate purely, to the voice of unspeakable joy, and there we shall see Your Glory face to face with them in the unevening days of Your Kingdom, and with all the saints who from ages have pleased You, let us glorify Your Holy Name with Your Uninitiated Father and the Most Holy One and the Living and the Living Spirit in the ages and now. Amen.
