Litter of the pagan cults in Christian imagery (1)

Text
Chaldean Breviary 2.327-328 (Bedjan):
The sacred litter of the aura of (God’s) being is carried on the unyoked shoulders of the herds of light and the mules of the spirit. … The eyes of the seraphic bands are blinded by the lightening that flashes forth from the hidden darkness that surrounds the site of the litter of his (God’s) glory.

Chaldean Breviary 372 (Bedjan):
Lighten, O Lord, from the chinks of the door of the litter of the holy of holies, the aura of your majesty, the lamp of our soul that has been extinguished.

Chaldean Breviary 396 (Bedjan):
We beseech you to lighten the faculties of our hearts with the luminous rays which continuously flash out from the rising place of your hiddenness, and which shine forth without interruption from the chinks in the door of the litter of the aura of your majesty.
