   "And we, in receiving Baptism, ... conceal ourselves in [the water] as the   
   Savior did in the earth: and by doing this thrice we represent for   
   ourselves that grace of the Resurrection which was wrought in three days.   
   And this we do, not receiving the sacrament in silence, but while there are   
   spoken over us the Names of the Three Sacred Persons on Whom we believed,   
   in Whom we also hope, from Whom comes to us both the fact of our present   
   and the fact of our future existence."   
      
   St. Gregory of Nyssa, Sermon For the Day of Lights.   
      
   "You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among   
   the peoples. You have with Your arm redeemed Your people."  Psalm 77:14-15   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
