Translated Text:

Wise Lord, of these lights,
The highest of the high,
Called the Sun,
We declare
The sublimest of Your splendors.
(Haptanghaiti: Song 2.6 = Yasna 36.6)

Summary Substance: The congregation is facing the sun and praying, only to say
that the highest light is the best of lights in their eyes.

Pondering Points: Praising God for the wonders of creation we observe.

Cypress, California, USA, 1989)
