Open up the Gates of Eden

Open up the Gates of Eden

This Kontakion from yesterday:

Now the flaming sword no longer guards the gates of Eden;
it has mysteriously been quenched by the wood of the Cross!
The sting of death and the victory of hell have been vanquished;
for You, O my Savior, have come and cried to those in hell:
"Enter again into paradise."

Brought to mind the old Lost Dogs song "Gates of Eden."
