Great and Holy Friday
Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 at 11:48 AM by Jason Barker
This will be my last post for a few days as we finish Holy Week at Pascha. I will probably not post early next week as I catch up on some of the work I've been unable to do this week (and I promise, Luke chapter one WILL be up next week).
Here is the fifteenth antiphon of the Matins:
Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the Cross. He who is King of the angels is arrayed in a crown of thorns. He who wraps the heavens in clouds is wrapped in the purple of mockery. He who in Jordan set Adam free receives blows upon His face. The Bridegroom of the Church is transfixed with nails. The Son of the Virgin is pierced with a spear. We venerate Thy Passion, O Christ. Show us also Thy glorious Resurrection.
You can read much more at the Greek Archdiocese's website for Great Lent, Holy Week, and Pascha.
