| Ἀνατέλλοντος φωτὸς, ὁ ὄρθρος ὑποχωρεῖ. Ἡλίου ἄνίσχοντος λαμπρῶς, τὰ τῶν ἀστέρων ἀμαυροῦται χορεύματα. Ὅτε αἴθριος ἡμέρα ἐπιφανῇ, τὰ τῆς ἔω ἀπολήγει σκιάσματα. Ὅτε ἡ τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου σοφία ἐξέλαμψεν, ἡ τοῦ νόμου παιδαγωγία ἐσχόλασεν. Οὕτω κωφεύει Ζαχαρίας, τὰ τοῦ νέου καὶ παραδόξου ἀσπασμοῦ ἀκηκοὼς εὐαγγέλια. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΣΝΖ' , Εὐλογιῳ |
The rising light removes the daybreak. The bright sun rising dims the companies of the stars. When the clear day is present the shadows of dawn reach their end. When the wisdom of the Gospel shines forth the introductory law comes to its rest. Thus Zachariah was dumb hearing things new and joyful, and a wondrous salutation. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 257, to Eulogius |
