Mary said, They have carried away my Lord, Simon Peter and the other Disciple, the initiate of Christ whom Jesus Loved, hastened to the Tomb. And they both went and found the Wrappings inside the Tomb, and the Face Cloth that was around His Head lying to one side. Wherefore they remained until they truly beheld Christ. the Precious Cross of Christ is set before us. Beholding it, let us faithfully Venerate It with Gladness, thereby with yearning salute the Lord Who by His own Will was crucified for us, and let us beseech Him to account us all worthy of revering His Cross Most Precious, and arriving Uncondemned at His Bright Resurrection. Son stretched out Immaculate Hands and was nailed for our sake to the Cross, the Wood of which we now Venerate with Faith, O All Decorous Maiden. Grant us Peace, we pray Thee, and the world-saving, All Divine Passion may we attain. And may we adore the Resplendent Day when the world rejoices the shining Day that bears the Name of our Lord Pascha.
