Nikolai Kharlamov. Christ and the Samaritan Woman.
On this day, the fifth Sunday of Pascha, Orthodox Christians celebrate the feast of the Samaritan Woman.
O almighty Savior, Who didst pour forth water for the Hebrews from a solid rock, Thou didst come to the land of Samaria, and addressed a woman, seeking of her water to drink, whom Thou didst attract to faith in Thee, and who hath now attained life in the heavens everlastingly. (Exaposteilarion of the Feast, Tone 2)
