From the Prologue

Callia was generous toward the poor out of pure Christian charity both as a maiden and later as a married woman. Callia's husband was a wealthy but miserly man. Once, when he returned from his business trip, he saw that his wife had distributed his wealth to the poor and then killed her. But God glorified this charitable soul in this manner: many who were ill were healed by her relics. Convinced of this, the Patriarch Saint Anthony, built a monastery over her relics.

HYMN OF PRAISE

THE HOLY TRINITY

THE HUMAN AND DIVINE NATURE OF CHRIST

Oneness and Threeness, One and Three,

Christ God He is and He is man; one and both,

The greatest and most wonderful, these two mysteries are,

The key of life and being; in them is concealed

Holy Threeness and Oneness, the eternal flame,

Flame eternal; Three torches but one flame.

Oneness and Threeness, one and three

Christ God He is and He is man; one and both.
