their Holy Baptism and thus, Entry into the Holy Church of Christ.
The theme of Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy concerns the great Victory of the PROKEIMENON – TONE (7) VARYS/GRAVE
True Faith – the Divine Truth of Almighty God, which is “... the Victory that ✶ Tis Theos Megas, os O Theos imon? ✶ Who is as Great a God as our God?

Truth that we are “... created in the Image and Likeness of God.” (GENESIS 1:26)
We become Sanctified and Restored to our original God-Likeness through our 1. Egnorisas en tis lais tin Dinamin 1. Thou made known among the

First Sunday of Great Lent.
The First Sunday of Great Lent originally commemorated the Holy Prophets of God 3. Emnisthin ton ergon Kyriou, oti 3. I remembered the Lord’s Works, for

appointed for this day reflect this older purpose.
The Epistle of St Paul is a completion of his Epistle to the Hebrews 11: 24-26 & 11: 32 –
12: 2. The Catechumens of the early Church heard the Epistle concerning the
Old Covenant men who lived by their unwavering Faith in a Divine Promise, the
eventual Fulfilment of which they themselves did not live to witness.
After the Righteous Faithful of the Old Covenant were mentioned, St Paul wrote: “...
and all these, having obtained a Good Testimony through Faith, did not
receive the Promise – God having provided Something better for us, that they
should not be made Perfect apart from us.”
The Sacred Gospel Lesson is from the Holy Gospel according to St John the Divine
and Beloved Theologian, which ends with an explanation of the “Something
better” that is mentioned by St Paul. (JOHN 1 : 43 – 51),
Our Lord Jesus Christ told His Faithful Disciples and Apostles that they – and we, too
- would “... see greater Things than these...” (meaning His Great Divine
Miracles).
He continued: “... Truly, truly, I say to you: hereafter you shall see Heaven open,
and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man...”
The Catechumens of the early Church and the Faithful Disciples of Christ – past and
present, who were and are preparing for Holy Pascha –will all eventually see
the inauguration of the New Age, which is the Fulfilment of all Divine Promises,
and the Glorious Manifestation of the Eternal Kingdom of God through the
Incarnation of Christ in His Holy Church.

As we Glorify Thy Divine
Condescension, we praise Thee, O
Christ: Thou were Born of a Virgin,
yet Thou were not separated from
the Father. As Man Thou suffered
and willingly endured the Cross.
Thou rose from the grave, as though
coming out of Thy Bridal Chamber,
so that Thou might Save the world.

mankind, appeared in Truth and
physical Nature to us – not merely in
appearance like the sons of Manis, as
Thine enemies say. Through Thy
Icon we are led to a longing and Love
for Thee.
I give Thee thanks, O Lord, with my
whole heart: I will tell of all Thy
Wonders.
Today has been manifested as a day of
Festivity, as a day filled with
happiness. The Bright Light of True
Dogmas shines like lightning. And
Christ’s Church is aglow for She is
once again adorned by the
reinstallation now of Holy Icons and
depictions, and the Light that they
radiate. And oneness of mind mong
the Faithful has God bestowed.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Moses, after a time of self-control,
received the Law and won over the
people. Elias, in Fasting, caused the
closing of the heavens; and the
Three Youths, descendants of
Abraham, by Fasting, overcame the
law-breaking tyrant. Through
Fasting, make us also worthy, O
Saviour, to arrive at Thy
Resurrection, as thus we cry aloud:
✞ “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy
Immortal: have Mercy on us!”
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen
The stone had been secured with a seal
by the Judeans, and a pair of soldier
guarded Thine Immaculate Body.
Thou Rose on the Third Day, O Lord
and Saviour, granting Life to the
world. Wherefore the Powers of
Heaven cried to Thee, O Life-giver: ✞
Glory to Thy Resurrection, O Christ!
✞ Glory to Thy Kingdom! ✞ Glory to
Thy Dispensation, O Only Lover of
mankind!
