Today there is a great silence over the earth, and stillness, a great silence because the King sleeps; the earth was in terror and was still, because God slept in the flesh and raised up those who were sleeping from the ages. God has died in the flesh, and the underworld has trembled.
--A reading from an ancient homily for Holy Saturday
