Holy Cross Orthodox Church: Yakima, Washington
"The time of separation does not grieve him who frees himself from everything earthly ... The righteous, the holy, and the ascetics rejoice at the hour of death and separation, having the great labors of their asceticism, vigils and prayers, fasts and tears, sackcloth and the subjection of their bodies to hardship before their eyes. Their souls leap up, for they are prepared to go out of their bodies for their rest." -- St. Ephraim the Syrian
