    The Dormition of our Most Holy Lady “This is none other than the House of God. the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary And this is the Gate of Heaven” Genesis 28:17 Concerning the Dormition of the Theotokos, this is what the Church has received from ancient times from the tradi- tion of the Fathers. When the time drew nigh that our Sav- ior was well-pleased to take His Mother to Himself, He declared unto her through an Angel that three days hence, He would translate her from this temporal life to eternity and bliss. On hearing this, she went up with haste to the Mount of Olives, where she prayed continuously. Giving thanks to God, she returned to her house and prepared whatever was necessary for her burial. While these things were taking place, clouds caught up the Apostles from the ends of the earth, where each one happened to be preach- ing, and brought them at once to the house of the Mother of God, who informed them of the cause of their sudden gathering. As a mother, she consoled them in their affliction as was meet, and then raised her hands to Heaven and prayed for the peace of the world. She blessed the Apostles, and, reclining upon her bed with seemliness, gave up her all-holy spirit into the hands of her Son and God. With reverence and many lights, and chanting burial hymns, the Apostles took up that God-receiving body and brought it to the sepulchre, while the Angels from Heaven chanted with them, and sent forth her who is higher than the Cherubim.

  • Dictionary of Religious Terms
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please Read! his lexicon began as a personal project to assist me in my efforts to learn more about my faith. All too often in my T readings I was coming across unfamiliar words, frequently in languages other than English. I began compiling a “small” list of terms and explanations to use as a reference. Since I was putting this together for my own use I usually copied explanations word for word, occasionally making a few modifications. As the list grew I began having trouble filling in some gaps. I turned to some friends for help. They in turn suggested this lexicon would be a good resource for the members of the Typikon and Ustav lists @yahoogroups.com and that list members maybe willing to help fill the gaps and sort out some other trouble spots. So, I present to you my lexicon. Here are some details: This draft version, as of 19 December 2001, contains 418 entries; Terms are given in transliterated Greek, Greek, Old Slavonic, Ukrainian, and English, followed by definitions/explanations; The terms are sorted alphabetically by “English”; The Greek transliteration is inconsistent as my sources use different systems; This document was created with MS Word 97 and converted to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (can be opened with Acrobat Reader 4.0); Times New Roman is used for all texts except the Old Slavonic entries for which I used a font called IZHITSA; My sources are listed at the end of the lexicon; Permission has not been obtained from the authors so I ask that this lexicon remain for private use only.

Protopriest Haralampij Linsinbigler For those who wish to review the Slavonic Typikon, an online edition can be found here: http !!www"orthlib.info!Typikon!Typikon"html CONTENTS: PAGE 1 LITURGICAL VESTMENTS PAGE 3 ALTAR DÉCOR PAGE 4 A NOTE ABOUT SUNDAYS PAGE 4 ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS PAGE 5 RUBRICS FOR 2017 Liturgical Vestments The Slavonic Typikon of St. Sabbas of Jerusalem calls for either “light/bright” vestments or “dark” vestments (in older forms of St. Sabbas, however, it does specify white for Pascha). This leaves the rest up to custom and local tradition. You could assign meanings to the different colors: white for the pure light of God’s energy; green, the color of life, for the Holy Spirit and the wood of the cross; purple for the suffering of Christ; deep red for the blood on the Cross, blood of the martyrs; blue for the Mother of God; and gold for the richness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and bright red for the fiery flame of the Spiritual Host. Black is traditionally the color of death and mourning in the West, but in the East white is the color of funerals as it is the color of resurrection. None of this is written down in the rules, and different colors obviously have different meanings for different peoples.

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. Verse: For he has regarded the humility of his servant. The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 2:5-11 Brethren, have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Gospel Reading Luke 10:38-42, 11:27-28 At that time, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful.

Fr. Haralampij Linsinbigler For those who wish to review the Slavonic Typikon, an online edition can be found here: http://www.orthlib.info/Typikon/Typikon.html CONTENTS: PAGE 1 LITURGICAL VESTMENT COLORS PAGE 2 ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS PAGE 4 RUBRICS FOR 2021 Liturgical Vestments The Slavonic Typikon calls for either “bright” vestments or “dark” vestments (in older forms of St. Sabbas, however, it does specify white for Pascha). This generally can be interpreted to mean “bright/decorated” vs “dark/limited in decoration.” In other words, if a darker shade of a color is greatly ornamented in a vestment, then it is considered “bright,” since bright does not necessiarly mean “light in color.” This leaves the rest up to custom and local tradition. One could assign meanings to the different colors: white for the pure light of God’s energy; green, the color of life, for the Holy Spirit and the wood of the cross; purple for the suffering of Christ; deep red for the blood on the Cross, blood of the martyrs; blue for the Mother of God, angels, and heavenly things; and gold for the richness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and bright red for the fiery flame of the Spiritual Host. Black is traditionally the color of death and mourning in the West, but in the East white is the color of funerals as it is the color of resurrection.
