Pascha

This is the day of the Resurrection.  Let us offer to God a sacrifice - which is ourselves.  Let us, as His most precious acquisition, give to the Image [God], that which was created in His image.  Let us acknowledge our worth.  Let us revere the Archtype.  Let us come to understand the power of the mysyery and who it is for whom Christ died.

St. Gregory of Nazianzus. On the Holy Pascha, Sermon 2,V.
