"Christ lay in death's
bonds handed over for our sins,
He is risen again and has
brought us life;
For this we should be
joyful, praise God
and be thankful to Him
and sing Alleluia, Alleluia!"
- Christ
Lag in Todesbanden, from Cantata No. 4, JS

“If Christ dwells within us,
what do we need?
What do we lack?
If we dwell in Christ, what more
could we desire?
He is our host and our
dwelling-place.
Happy
are we to be His home!
What joy
to be ourselves the dwelling-place
of such an
inhabitant!”
St Nicolas
Cabasilas (+1391)
