Christ is Risen!
Today is the 25th day after Pascha, and we are midpoint in our journey to the upcoming Great Feast of Pentecost.
The Mid-Pentecost Icon above, illustrates the Gospel account of our Lord, Who at the age of twelve, taught and spoke with the Elders in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Today’s Troparion hymn, alludes to another Gospel encounter of Jesus Christ with the Samaritan Woman at the Well.
At MidFeast, give Thou my thirsty soul to drink of the waters of piety; for Thou, O Saviour, didst cry out to all: Whosoever is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Wherefore, O Well-spring of Life, Christ our God, glory to Thee. ~ Troparion of Mid-Pentecost
Our Lord God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is the Well-spring of our life.
He invites all thirsty souls to come to Him and drink from the waters of immortality; never to thirst again. (St. John 7:37).
Truly He is Risen!
