"Being Life itself, and the spring of incorruption..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Christ speaking to the Samaritan Woman St. Photini (Source)
  
Being Life itself, and the spring of incorruption, You sat beside the spring, O Compassionate One, and for the Samaritan Woman who asked of You, You filled her with the waters of all wisdom, as she hymned You.

The life of all that live, the spring of all good things, the Lord richly rains down His teachings [for all], and cries to the Woman: Give me water to drink, that I might grant you water to dry up the springs of your sins.

O Lord, you are the river of eternal life, and the abyss of mercy, O Good One, and while You were traveling, You sat by the Well of the Oath, and cried out to the Samaritan Woman: Give me water to drink, that you might receive the waters of forgiveness.
-from the Canon for the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman St. Photini

Christ has 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!
