Bright Saturday ⁣“Our Risen Christ, when we glorify you, we don’t give you glory; we just confess your glory. You are like the sun. It shines whether people confess its light or not. Their confession of its light does not increase its light; It is self-lit.” – H.H. Pope Shenouda III⁣ ⁣ #coptic #orthodox #brightsaturday #heisrisen #light #faith #hope #new #holylight #holyfire #miracle #ekhristosanesti #easter
