APOSTLES KARPOS AND ALPHAIOS OF THE SEVENTY SINESIOS, BISHOP OF CARPASIA IN CYPRUS • NEW-MARTYR ALEXANDER OF THESSALONICA AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY, EVANGELIZER OF ENGLAND

At the sixth hour Thou didst come to the well, O Fountain of wonder, to ensnare the fruit of Eve; for that one, at the very same hour, had been driven from paradise by the serpent’s temptation. Then the Samaritan woman came to draw water, and when Thou didst see her, O Savior, Thou didst say to her: Give Me water to drink, and I will fill thee with everlasting water. And that chaste woman hastened at once to the city and said to the crowds: Come and see Christ the Lord, the Savior of our souls. LITURGY VARIATIONS
