"God’s forebear David, dancing, leaped before the Ark..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Prophet David dancing in joy before the Ark of the Covenant (source)
 
God’s forebear David, dancing, leaped before the Ark, mere shadow, but seeing the fulfilment of the types, let us, God’s holy people, inspired, rejoice, for Christ has risen as omnipotent.
-from the Canon of Pascha, St. John of Damascus

Christ has risen from the dead, by death he has trampled on death, and to those in the graves given life!
Truly the Lord is risen!
