Latin.png Latin text

Hic est praecursor dilectus
et lucerna lucens ante Dominum.
Ipse enim est Ioannes
qui viam Domino praeparavit in eremo.
Sed et Agnum Dei demonstravit
et illuminavit mentes hominum.

English.png English translation

 This is the well-beloved Fore-runner,
a shining light before the Lord.
For even this is John,
who made straight in the desert an highway for our God
And bare witness, saying Behold the Lamb of God!
And lightened the minds of men.
