SUMMARY:Holy Thursday Matins
DESCRIPTION:On Holy Thursday\, we remember the institution of the Eucharist. Judas is also exposed as a “son of vipers” as he betrays the Lord. The lengthy Gospel reading at the Divine Liturgy brings us through the Mystical Supper\, the arrest of Jesus\, and the denial of Peter. During this service we repeatedly pray that we will not betray Christ with a kiss like Judas\, but rather imitate the Good Thief.

SUMMARY:Holy Friday Matins
DESCRIPTION:Known as the “12 Gospels Service” or the “Passion Service.” In what is perhaps the most intense service of Holy Week\, we read the twelve Gospel accounts of Christ’s Passion and Crucifixion. Interspersed with hymns that reach a climax with the procession of the Cross\, we venerate the Wood on which the Lord suffered and purchased our salvation.

SUMMARY:Holy Friday Vespers
DESCRIPTION:Also known as the “Un-nailing Service.” In this most dramatic service\, we commemorate the burial of Christ. The icon of the Lord is removed from the Cross\, wrapped in a shroud\, and symbolically entombed on the altar. The epitaphios or plaschanitsa\, a special icon representing the tomb of Christ\, is carried out and venerated by the faithful.

SUMMARY:Holy Saturday Matins
DESCRIPTION:Also known as the “Lamentations Service\,” we join the Mother of God at the tomb as she weeps for her Son. Christ’s body\, symbolically in the form of the epitaphios or plaschanitsa\, is carried around the church in solemn procession. This is the Lord’s funeral service. Yet even in this dark hour\, we see the first signs of hope as we begin to sing hymns of the Resurrection.

SUMMARY:Holy Saturday Vesperal Divine Liturgy
DESCRIPTION:Also known as the “First Liturgy of Pascha\,” in truth\, this is first service of Pascha. The vesperal hymns are those of Resurrection: Hades weeps with regret\, wondering how he could have taken this Man\, who turned out to be God. The beautiful doxasticon hymn tells us that Christ has spent this Great Sabbath in the tomb\, resting from His work. The Old Testament readings prophecy of the Resurrection\, and reach their pinnacle with the singing of Psalm 81: “Arise\, O God\, and judge the earth!” as the priest scatters flower petals throughout the church. St. Matthew’s account of the Resurrection is proclaimed\, and the Cherubic Hymn is from the Liturgy of St. James: “Let all mortal flesh keep silence.”

SUMMARY:Pascha
DESCRIPTION:The vigil begins in darkness with the Midnight Office. The Paschal Flame is then carried out\, and the light spreads among the people as we process outside the church. The Resurrection Gospel is proclaimed\, and we re-enter the church and everything is full of light\, like the souls of all the dead entering into heaven with Christ as their champion. We sing the Paschal Canon and celebrate the Eucharist\, full of joy on this day of Resurrection. Christ is risen!
