“On Palm Sunday” (Greek Anthology 1.52)
Trans. E.J. Hutchinson
Εἰς τὰ Βαΐα Χαῖρε, Σιὼν θύγατερ, καὶ δέρκεο Χριστὸν ἄνακτα πώλῳ ἐφεζόμενον καὶ ἐς πάθος αἶψα κιόντα. Daughter of Zion, hail and see This veiled celestial mystery: The cosmic Lord upon a foal (As presaged in the ancient scroll) Lights out in haste for suffering– A slave’s death for the King of Kings.
