"The mercy [of God] that raises us up after we have sinned is even greater than the mercy by which He gave us being, when we did not yet exist. Glory, O Lord, to Thine immeasurable mercy!" Thus speaks St. Isaac the Syrian. He means that greater is the mercy that God showed toward us when, through Christ, He saved us from the corruption of sin and death, than when He created us from nothing. Truly, it is so. Even earthly parents show greater mercy to a perverted and fallen son when they embrace him again, forgive him all, make him civilized, cleanse him, heal him, and again make him their heir, than when they gave him birth.

The Prologues from Ohrid

The tyrant has been destroyed by Thy crucifixion, O Christ.
The might of the enemy has been trampled down.
For neither an angel nor a man
But Thou Thyself hast saved us.
O Lord, glory to Thee!

Holy Friday


(Incomplete translation but you'll get the point clearly)




Today He was hung on a wood
Him who hung the earth on the waters
X3
A crown of thorns placed on the head of the king of the Angels

By a word of a liar who pointed at the Father of the clouds

Him who ... Adam in the Jordan

Nailed by nails and the Son of the virgin was pierced by a spear

We prostrate to Your pains oh Christ x3

So show us Your glorious Resurrection

Holy Friday


Exact translation 😉😘

Holy Friday

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen,

even as they have of the Jews: 15. Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 16. Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Holy Friday Verse


Matthew 27:62-64
...Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63. Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Pascha is not just a yearly feast, not just an unchanging event of the yearly cycle. With every year we are nearer to death, nearer to the decision of our eternal lot. And if our union with God does not become closer from year to year, our faith stronger, and our attachment to the world weaker, it means we are not preparing well for this step.

The occupation forces continue to restrict Christians from heading to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher to celebrate Holy Saturday.

Holy Saturday

John 19:37-42
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 38. ¶And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 39. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 40. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 41. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
