                                        1st Sunday after Circumcision. The Religion of Trees.

May Almighty God Whose Only-begotten Son did not dissolve the law, but rather came to fulfill it, receiving circumcision in the flesh; by spiritual circumcision purge your minds from all of the attractions of sins, and pour forth into you His blessing. Amen.
And may He Who gave the law through Moses, so that He might give blessing through our Mediator, remove from you the mortification of sins, and make you to persevere in newness of virtues. Amen.
This one [as a human] in perfection of the sixth in number [day of creation of man] may you live in this age and the seventh [day of creation] in number may you rest among the flock of spirits of the Saints, since renewed in the eight-fold Resurrection [the eighth day of creation], and enriched in the remission of the jubilee [eight days after Christmas], may you enter into joys that remain without end. Amen.
May He Whose Kingdom and Dominion remain without end, be pleased to sustain us unto ages of ages. Amen.
May the blessing of God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the peace of the Lord be ever with you. Amen.
