Also: God is Dead.Today Hades tearfully sighs: “Would that I had not received him who was born of Mary, for he came to me and destroyed my power; he broke my bronze gates, and being God, delivered the souls I had been holding captive.”O Lord, glory to your cross and to your holy resurrection!Today Hades groans: “My power has vanished. I received one who died as mortals die, but I could not hold him; with him and through him I lost those over which I had ruled. I had held control over the dead since the world began, and lo, he raises them all up with him!”O Lord, glory to your cross and to your holy resurrection!• Holy Saturday Orthodox Liturgy
