Let the clouds sprinkle forth rain, for the Sun is being carried by the light cloud in spotless arms*, as Christ is being brought to the Temple as a child. Therefore O faithful, let us cry out: Sing to the Lord, for gloriously is He glorified.
-from the Matins Canon for the Meeting of Christ in the Temple

*"See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud" (Isaiah 19:1), a great prophecy of Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, Who was carried in the spotless arms of the Theotokos.
