“He tasted death for the sake of all; although by nature, He, Himself was the Life and resurrection. He surrounded His body with death, then by His mighty power, He treaded upon death to become the Firstfruit among the dead, and the Firstfruit of those who have fallen asleep. If the resurrection from the dead happens through man; and the Man we Know is the Word begotten by God; Through Him the power of death has been destroyed.” – St. Cyril the Great #brightsaturday #lightsaturday #hetrampleddowndeathbyhisdeath #pascha #holyweek #Christisrisen #khristosanesti #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
