“It is not the sun that gives light to the earth, nor imagination that opens heaven- "heaven and earth will pass away" (Matt. 24:35)-but the presence of God that makes earth and heaven new and incorruptible and unites them. "And the city has no need of sun" (Rev. 21:23). The reality of the Liturgy is not illumined by a light which can pass away, "for no visible thing is good." The unseen presence of the Lord lights and reveals everything.” — Archimandrite Vasileios
