Icon of the Resurrection of Christ
decorated with flowers
“Take delight in all things that
surround us. All things teach us and lead us to God. All things around us are
droplets of the love of God — both things animate and inanimate, the plants and
the animals, the birds and the mountains, the sea and the sunset and the starry
sky. They are little loves through which we attain to the great Love that is
Christ. Flowers, for example, have their own grace; they teach us with their
fragrance and with their magnificence. They speak to us of the love of God.
They scatter their fragrance and their beauty on sinners and on the righteous.”
-St Porphyrios
