"O blessed Sophia, you were shown to be an unemptying vessel of the wisdom from above..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
St. Sophia of Kleisoura (source)
   
O blessed Sophia*, you were shown to be an unemptying vessel of the wisdom* from above, by the Lord of all wisdom, as a gift for your struggles day and night. Make us wise as well, we who are foolish and worthless, that we might proceed through life in wisdom, and that we might reach eternal repose, in which all who dwell therein rejoice.
-Idiomelon of the Litia for St. Sophia of Kleisoura

*The name "Sophia" in Greek means "wisdom".
 
Christ is risen from the dead, by death, trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs, He has granted life!
Truly, He is risen!
