Πρέπει τῷ σταυρῷ τὸ φῶς. Οὗτος γὰρ μόνος διέλυσε τὸ σκότος τῶν δαιμόνων. Εἰ μὴ σταυρός, δαίμονας ἂν προσεκυνοῦμεν. Σταυρὸς καθῆλε τὴν πλάνην, σταυρὸς ἤνθησεν τὴν ἁγιωσύνην, σταυρὸς ἤνεγκεν ἀκτῖνα δικαιοσύνης. Πάντα ἡμῖν ἀπὸ σταυροῦ, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος ἅμα τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ παναγίῳ Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
