Glory. Both now.
All mortal nature together keeps a feast, and in spirit leaps for joy; for the Tree of the Cross is set forth today as an inexhaustible source of healing for those who have recourse to it with devotion and love, and who glorify the One who nailed on it, Christ, the Lover of mankind.
**The same.**
Tone 4. You have appeared today.
For this present day the progress of the Cross is cause of joy; for it sanctifies both our souls and bodies, who worship it with faith.
**The same.**
The Canons of the Cross and of the Saints.
