"In the midst of two thieves, Your Cross was revealed as the balance-beam of righteousness. For while the one was led down to hell by the burden of blaspheming, the other was lightened of his sins to the knowledge of things divine." Fritt översatt: "Mellan två tjuvar uppenbarade sig Ditt Kors som rättfärdighetens balansvåg. Medan den ene leddes ner till helvetet av sina hädelsers tyngd, lättades den andre från sina synder till kunskapen om gudomliga ting." Se A Prayer at the Ninth Hour, St Nicholas Orthodox Church, Salem.
