Sunday after Epiphany

By thy baptism, O Lord, in the river Jordan, worship to the Trinity has made its appearance. For the voice of the Lord did come forth to thee with the testimony, naming thee beloved Son; and the Spirit in the likeness of a dove, confirming the truth of the word. Wherefore, O Thou who appeared and lighted the world, O Christ glory to Thee.
