The
fourteenth day, the true Passover of the Lord; the great sacrifice,
the Son of God instead of the lamb, who was bound, who bound the
strong, and who was judged, though Judge of living and dead, and who
was delivered into the hands of sinners to be crucified, who was
lifted up on the horns of the unicorn, and who was pierced in His
holy side, who poured forth from His side the two purifying elements,
water and blood, word and spirit, and who was buried on the day of
the passover, the stone being placed upon the tomb.
