"O Wonderworker Ephraim..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
St. Ephraim of Nea Makri, the Great Martyr and Wonderworker and Newly-revealed (source)
  
O Wonderworker Ephraim, you were truly shown to be a newly-shining star of the Church of Christ, and the rays of your wonders shine upon the ends of the earth. Therefore today, we celebrate the holy feast of your martyrdom, as we magnify Christ.
-Kathisma from the Matins for the feast of St. Ephraim of Nea Makri
 
   
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!
