Orthrinos Gospel of Sunday, According to John K '(20) 19-23
Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων, καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ουουδαίων, ἦλθεν ὁ ηησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς · εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ. ἐχάρησαν οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν Κύριον.
εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ᾿ ηησοῦς πάλιν · εἰρήνη ὑμῖν. καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέ με ὁ πατήρ, κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς.
καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησε καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς · λάβετε Πνεῦμα ῞Αγιον ·
ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας, ἀφίενται αὐτοῖς, ἄν τινων κρατῆτε, are held.
On the Sunday of Pentecost the apparition of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles is honored. In remembrance of this event, each year, we celebrate with special splendor the birthday of the Church, one day before the feast of the Holy Spirit.
«Συνηγμένων τῶν Μαθήτῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
ἐγένετο ἦχος, καπαπερ φερομένης βιαίας πνοῆς και
ἐπλήρωσε τόν οἶκον, οὖ ἦσαν καθήμενοι »
Pentecost, is the birthday of the Church.
Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. On this day, the Apostles of the Lord were enlightened and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
On Pentecost the Church celebrates the third person of the Holy Trinity, the Requested, the Holy Spirit, which descended on the Jerusalem foyer to inaugurate a new salvation period in human history (Act. 2:1). Ο ερχομός του περιγράφεται ως “εκ του ουρανού ήχος ώσπερ φερομένης πνοής βιαίας” και η ορατή παρουσία του ήταν ως “γλώσσαι ωσεί πυρός”, το οποίον “εκάθισέ τε εφ’ ένα έκαστον αυτών (of the students)” (Deed.2: 3-4).
The spiritual power, τὸ πνευματικὸ φῶς καὶ τὴν πνευματικὴ ζέση, δηλαδὴ τὴ δυνατὴ θέλεια, τὸ φωτισμένο νοῦ καὶ τὴ ζέση τῆς ἀγάπης. Μὲ αὐτὰ τὰ πνευματικὰ χαρίσματα ἐφοδίασε τὸ⁇ γιο Πνεῦμα τοὺς μαθητὲς τοῦ Χριστοῦ γιὰ νὰ ἀντιμετωπξουν τὸν κόσμο. «Οὐ γὰρ ὑμεῖς⁇ στε οἱ λαλοῦντες ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν τὸ λαλοῦν ἐν ὑμῖν» (Matt. 10,20).

Of the Divine Liturgy, followed by the Great Vespers of Kneeling, presence of believers.
The wishes of the kneeling were read by Alexios Panosiologiotato from the Oraia Pyli to the whole Church.
These wishes are divided into three groups, as are the kneeling.
1) In the obedience that the Son showed to the Father, which we are called to imitate,
2) in the love shown by the Word of God to the world and
3) to the gratitude we owe to God for His benefits.
The beginning of every knee-jerk was announced by Alexios Panosiologiotatos with the phrase "So and so, kneeling, let us pray to the Lord" and ending with the phrase "I understand, save, ελεησον, resurrect, and may God protect us ".
At the end of the Holy Communions, the Most Venerable Alexios spoke to the large congregation, referring theologically to the existential idioms of the Holy Spirit of the third person of the Holy Trinity and wished everyone happy birthday..
