I will lay down my life for Your sake.” 38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times. 14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you.

  • ORTHODOX HOLY WEEK Explanation, Prayers, and Scripture Readings
    ORTHODOX HOLY WEEK Explanation, Prayers, and Scripture Readings OUR JOURNEY TO THE CROSS AND THE EMPTY TOMB “… that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and may share His sufferings, becoming like Him in his death, that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” ~ Philippians 3:10-11 We Christians know that the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus is the defining event of the entire history of creation. Two- thousand years ago, in a small city in a backwater province of the Roman Empire, God came to visit His people. Holy Week is partly a historical reenactment of those days. But much more than history, Holy Week is prayer, worship, and our mystical participation in the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord, who still lives and reigns in us and in His Church. Holy Week takes us through the hope and expectation of Palm Sunday, the dark days of His passion and crucifixion, the glorious joy of the discovery of the empty tomb, and His resurrection from the dead. It is a drama like no other, and our great God who loves mankind invites us each year to participate in it with Him! The purpose of this booklet is to provide you with a brief explanation of each of the days of Orthodox Holy Week. Starting with St. Lazarus Saturday and ending with Pascha Sunday, I have provided you with (1) an icon of the day, (2) a short explanation of the events and how we observe them in church, (3) some of the key hymns and prayers for each day, and (4) Scripture readings.

  • HOLY WEEK at ST. NICHOLAS
    HOLY WEEK at ST. NICHOLAS The services of Holy Week transform us into eyewitnesses and direct participants in the awesome events of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In readings taken from both Old and New Testaments, in hymns, processions, and liturgical commemoration, we see the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies and the mighty acts by which God Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, grants us forgiveness for our sins and rescues us from the pain of eternal death. This can be the most spiritually rewarding week of the year if we give ourselves over to the celebration of it. A full participation will require schedules to be reworked—everyone is encouraged to consider taking off at least the first half of Holy Thursday and all of Holy Friday for a once-a- year transforming experience (work/school religious observance letters are available). Through the Divine Services, we walk with Christ from His raising of Lazarus, through the final week of His Earthly ministry, to His Passion, Death, and Resurrection! LAZARUS SATURDAY: Our Lord raises Lazarus from the dead, “confirming the universal resurrection.” The crowds respond to this miracle by welcoming Christ in His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, but this welling up of support convinces the religious leaders to plot Jesus’ death. Our Lord is welcomed into Jerusalem with cries of “Hosanna!” and we the faithful join their cry and celebrate or Lord’s coming as the Conqueror, though not of the Romans or other earthly powers, but of the power of Death itself. Blessed Palms are distributed to be held by the faithful and we process around the Church, joining the crowds at the first Palm Sunday.

  • The Betrayal and Passion of Our Lord (PDF)
    The Betrayal and Passion of Our Lord Holy Friday Matins With the Passion Gospels and Royal Hours Introduction by the Very Rev. Paul Lazor When the Lord was going to His voluntary Passion, He said to the Apostles on the way, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered up, as it is written of Him." Come, therefore, let us also go with Him, purified in mind. Let us be crucified with Him and die through Him to the pleasures of this life. Then we shall live with Him and hear Him say: "I go no more to the earthly Jerusalem to suffer, but to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God, I shall raise you up to the Jerusalem on high in the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matins of Great and Holy Monday) This verse from the Matins of Great and Holy Monday serves as an excellent introduction to Holy Week, the high point in the yearly liturgical life of the Orthodox Christian. Beginning with the evening of Palm Sunday he is called upon to accompany Christ along the road of His voluntary passion and death. As a fellow traveler with Christ, a person, as the above verse indicated, must abandon the pleasures of this world. He must be purified in his entire being. He must fervently seek union with his Lord and Savior. The life of the Church actualizes these necessities in the Sacraments of Confession and Communion. Only after being purified and forgiven in the Sacrament of Confession and firmly united with Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Communion can the Orthodox believer approach the hallowed ground of accompanying Christ in the great hour of His work for the redemption of all.
