Festal greeting.

We are in great distress -- for we are made of flesh, not stone. But the remembrance of the Lord's Epiphany [the feast celebrating Christ's baptism and manifestation to the world] has proved a powerful medicine. So at once I write, as the custom of the feast requires, and greet your magnificence with a prayer that you may live in prosperity and good repute.
