At the sixth hour the Well-spring of miracles came to the well to capture the fruit of Eve, for Eve at this same hour departed from Paradise through the deceit of the serpent. The Samaritan woman, therefore, drew nigh to draw water, and the Saviour, upon seeing her, said to her: Give Me water to drink, and I shall fill thee with living water. And running to the city, that prudent woman at once announced to the multitudes: Come, behold Christ the Lord, the Saviour of our Souls.

When the compassionate Lord came unto the well, the Samaritan woman entreated Him, saying: Grant me the water of faith, and I shall receive the waters of the font of baptism unto rejoicing and redemption. O Giver of life, Lord, glory be to Thee.
