"Behold the Bridegroom comes in the middle of the night.." On Holy and Great Monday
Σε κλίμα κατάνυξης και περισυλλογής τελέστηκε η Ακολουθία του Νυμφίου………
στον Ιερό Ναό του Αγίου Αρτεμίου, Patron Saint of Mykonos Island, από τον πρωτοπρεσβύτερο π.Πέτρο Μαραγκό και τον Διάκονο Γεώργιο παρουσία πιστών .
In the Orthodox Church, according to the Calendar, Great Monday is dedicated to the memory of Joseph, of the so-called "Pangalos" of the son of Jacob, which refers to the Old Testament and the unfruitful fig tree, where Christ cursed her and dried up with one of his words:
"Fruit from you is born in the century and the fig tree withered dry"
The trophies that are sung are the "Behold the Bridegroom cometh" και το «I see your Nymph"
"Behold, the Bridegroom comes in the middle of the night;
and blessed is the servant, be found quickly;
unworthy again, being found rathymuando.
See my soul, but the sleep was occupied,
lest you be given over to death,
and of the kingdom without shut up;
but revive me crying;
Saint, Saint, Holy is God;
for the sake of the Mother of God, have mercy on us".
The midnight trope supported “Behold the bridegroom comes…..» in the Lord's parable of the ten virgins, marks the beginning of Holy Week: Mr, the bridegroom of every human soul, it comes in the middle of the night.
Self-shipping
"I see your nymphon, My decorated savior, and I have no clothes, that I may enter into it, make my soul's garment shine, Light sources, and save me".
This beautiful phrase, which is heard in the hexapostelary of Orthros of the first days of M. Week, αποτυπώνει κατά τον καλύτερο τρόπο τον τρόπο με τον οποίο η Εκκλησία μας περιγράφει τη σχέση του Θεου με τον άνθρωπο.
