Good Friday34 hymnsOn this day, the Church commemorates the greatest sacrifice in human history: our God and Creator humbled Himself to be born like one of us and then offered Himself as a sweet sacrifice to purge our sins. As St. John wrote, there is no greater love then to lay down one's own life for another. Here, our Lord laid down His own life for us all to satisfy the requirements of Divine Justice. The day of Good Friday is characterized by long, mournful hymns and a wealth of reading: 2+ prophecies; 1-2 psalms; and 4 Gospels for each hour. |
Great Thursday12 hymnsThis is the Thursday of the Holy Pascha Week. In it, we commemorate the establishment of the Sacrament of Eucharist by our Lord Jesus Christ, when He offered His Body and Blood as the living and effective Sacrifice, capable of sanctifying our hearts and granting us the victorious and eternal life. This is the only day of the Holy Week in which Sacrifice of the Eucharist is offered, and the rite of washing the feet is practiced in commemoration of what Christ did for His disciples. On this day also an unusual procession takes place, starting from the south of the church nave, during which a hymn of rebuking Judas the betrayer is chanted as a warning to us not to fall like him. |
Lazarus Saturday5 hymns"Giving us before Thy Passion an assurance of the general resurrection, Thou hast raised Lazarus from the dead, O Christ our God. Therefore, like the children, we also carry tokens of victory, and cry to Thee, the Conqueror of death: Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord." --Greek Orthodox hymn for Lazarus Saturday |
