"As the Beginningless One Who holds the middle of all things..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God (source)
 
You destroyed the gates of death through Your power, making known and opening the gates of the way of life without corruption for those who cry out with faith: Glory to Your power, O Lord.

As the Beginningless One Who holds the middle of all things, and their end and their beginning, You stood in the middle of the feast, crying out: Come, partake of divine gifts, O godly-minded ones.

As God Who holds all authority, as the Mighty One, You brought down the kingdom of death, sending down, O Christ, the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father.
-Excerpts from the Matins Canons of Mid-Pentecost

Christ is risen from the dead, by death, trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs, He has granted life!
Truly the Lord is risen!
