SUMMARY:Great and Holy Monday - Bridegroom Matins
DESCRIPTION:These three days\, which the Church calls Great and Holy have within the liturgical development of the Holy Week a very definite purpose. They place all its celebrations in the perspective of End Times; they remind us of the eschatological meaning of Pascha. So often Holy Week is considered one of the “beautiful traditions” or “customs\,” a self-evident “part” of our calendar. We take it for granted and enjoy it as a cherished annual event which we have “observed” since childhood\, we admire the beauty of its services\, the pageantry of its rites and\, last but not least\, we like the fuss about the Paschal table. And then\, when all this is done we resume our normal life. But do we understand that when the world rejected its Savior\, when “Jesus began to be sorrowful and very heavy… and his soul was exceedingly sorrowful even unto death\,” when He died on the Cross\, “normal life” came to its end and is no longer possible…read more: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/10/21-great-and-holy-monday

SUMMARY:Great and Holy Tuesday - Bridegroom Matins
DESCRIPTION:…For there were “normal” men who shouted “Crucify Him” who spat at Him and nailed Him to the Cross. And they hated and killed Him precisely because He was troubling their normal life. It was indeed a perfectly “normal” world which preferred darkness and death to light and life…. By the death of Jesus the “normal” world\, and “normal” life were irrevocably condemned. Or rather they revealed their true and abnormal inability to receive the Light\, the terrible power of evil in them. “Now is the Judgment of this world” (John 12:31). The Pascha of Jesus signified its end to “this world” and it has been at its end since then. This end can last for hundreds of centuries\, but this does not alter the nature of time in which we live as the “last time.” “The fashion of this world passeth away…” (I Cor. 7:31)…read more: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/11/22-great-and-holy-tuesday

SUMMARY:Great and Holy Thursday - Vesperal Divine Liturgy of St. Basil
DESCRIPTION:Two events shape the liturgy of Great and Holy Thursday: the Last Supper of Christ with His disciples\, and the betrayal of Judas. The meaning of both is in love. The Last Supper is the ultimate revelation of God’s redeeming love for man\, of love as the very essence of salvation. And the betrayal of Judas reveals that sin\, death and self-destruction are also due to love\, but to deviated and distorted love\, love directed at that which does not deserve love. Here is the mystery of this unique day\, and its liturgy\, where light and darkness\, joy and sorrow are so strangely mixed\, challenges us with the choice on which depends the eternal destiny of each one of us. “Now before the feast of the Passover\, when Jesus knew that His hour was come… having loved His own which were in the world\, He loved them unto the end…” (John 13:1). To understand the meaning of the Last Supper we must see it as the very end of the great movement of Divine Love which began with the creation of the world and is now to be consummated in the death and resurrection of Christ… read more https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/13/24-great-and-holy-thursday

SUMMARY:Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Great and Holy Saturday is the day on which Christ reposed in the tomb. The Church calls this day the Blessed Sabbath. \n“The great Moses mystically foreshadowed this day when he said:\nGod blessed the seventh day.\nThis is the blessed Sabbath\nThis is the day of rest\,\non which the only-begotten Son of God rested from all His works….” \n(Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday) \nBy using this title the Church links Holy Saturday with the creative act of God. In the initial account of creation as found in the Book of Genesis\, God made man in His own image and likeness. To be truly himself\, man was to live in constant communion with the source and dynamic power of that image: God. Man fell from God. Now Christ\, the Son of God through whom all things were created\, has come to restore man to communion with God. He thereby completes creation. All things are again as they should be. His mission is consummated. On the Blessed Sabbath He rests from all His works…read more https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/15/26-great-and-holy-saturday
