Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ

On the fortieth day after His Resurrection from the dead, Christ made His last appearance on

earth. This final appearance was made before all of His disciples as they were gathered in

Jerusalem with the Virgin Mary.

At this last appearance, Christ commanded His disciples to remain in Jerusalem for ten days-

until the Holy Spirit should descend upon them. He then led the disciples to the Mount of

Olives where He said to them, "All power is given Me in heaven and on earth. Go into the

whole world and preach the Gospel to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and

of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. And, behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the

world."Having given this mission to the disciples, Jesus lifted up His hands and blessed the

group. Then, rising slowly from the earth, He ascended into heaven to take His place through

all time at the right hand of God, the Father.

In great wonderment these faithful followers continued to watch Jesus as

He ascended until a cloud finally hid Him from view.

As the disciples watched, still gazing heavenward, two angels dressed in white robes appeared

to them and said, "Yemen of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,

which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go

into heaven." Thus, as recorded in the first chapter of the book of Acts, the world was given the

promise of Christ's second coming to earth. Hearing this message from the angels, the disciples

fell upon the ground and worshiped God.

Obedient to the command of the Master, the Apostles remained in Jerusalem to await the

coming of the Holy Spirit. They spent their time in an upper room in prayer and holy

meditation. The Virgin Mary and many other followers of Christ met with them and the

assembled group numbered about a hundred and twenty.

It was during this ten-day period of waiting that Peter suggested the selection of a new twelfth

disciple to replace Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Christ and who committed suicide

by hanging himself after his treachery. Two followers were put forward as candidates, Joseph

and Matthias, and after prayer, Matthias was chosen.

The feast day of the Ascension of Christ into heaven is observed

forty days after Easter and always falls on a Thursday

Troparion : Thou has ascended in glory, 0 Christ our God, having made

joyful Thy disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit, which was announced

unto them in the blessing; for Thou art the Son of God, the Redeemer of the

world

Kondakion :When Thou hadst accomplished Thy dispensation concerning

us, and united those on the earth with the heavenly, Thou didst ascend in

glory, O Christ our God, yet in nowise separating Thyself from us, but

abiding ever present and crying out unto those that love Thee: I am

with you, and none shall prevail against you

Ascension - Explaining the Icon ❖ A bright cloud accompanies each Theophany or divine appearance. At the Ascension, Christ

disappears in the cloud and the angels tell the Apostles that He will return the same way for His Second

Coming.

❖ The cloud is a Mandorla. It consists of concentric circles that become darker and darker as they get

closer to Christ. This shows the reality that the closer one gets to Mystery, the less one really understands.

❖ From the cloud, Christ blesses the Apostles and Mary. Even though He is Ascending to heaven, His

blessing remains with us forever. In His left hand, He holds a scroll which represents His teachings.

❖Mary is in the centre of the Apostles. Her hands are raised in prayer in the ancient form called ‘orans’.

This gesture indicates Mary’s role as intercessor on our behalf before her Son. A straight line from the

Ascended Christ to Mary can be drawn to connect heaven with earth.

❖The group of Apostles with Mary, the Mother of God, represents the Church. St. Paul appears with the

Apostles although he would not have been present. This shows that the Church of the future also

participates in this event.

❖The hills in the background, the movement of the Angels, Mary’s hands raised in prayer and the

Apostles looking up give the icon the upward movement of the feast day.

St. Tikhon of Zadonsk on prayer. . . .

“Prayer does not consist merely in standing and bowing your body or in

reading written prayers….it is possible to pray at all times, in all places,

with mind and spirit. You can lift up your mind and heart to God while

walking, sitting, working, in a crowd and in solitude. His door is always

open, unlike man’s. We can always say to Him in our hearts Lord ,

Lord have mercy.”

Pentecost- Holy Trinity Day-Zeleniy Sviato

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles is

celebrated by the Holy Orthodox Church as one of the greatest

feast days on the fiftieth day after Pascha, because the Holy Spirit

descended on the Apostles on the fiftieth day after the resurrection

of Jesus Christ. It is therefore called Pentecost, or Holy Trinity

day, for from this day the action of the Holy Trinity was revealed

to the world, and people learned to venerate and glorify the three

Persons of one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

On this feast day it is customary to decorate the Church and its hall with greenery, and to hold

flowers during the Divine Liturgy, thus expressing our joy and thanksgiving to God for His

Holy and Lifegiving Spirit, which renews people, and gives them birth trough baptism into a

new life. The flowers and greenery (branches of saplings) signify life.

The day following Holy Trinity day is called Spirit Day and is devoted to the glorification of the

Holy Spirit.

Tropar on Pentecost

Blessed art Thou, Christ our God, Who hast shown forth the fishermen as supremely wise, by

sending down upon them the Holy Spirit, and through them, didst draw the world into Thy net.

O Lover of mankind, glory be to Thee. (from 'The Law of God')

П'ятидесятниця -Свята Тройця -Зелені Свято

Вітання із Зеленими Святами

На П'ятидесяниці, у цей день Православній Християни святкують Велеки Свято, яке після

Різдва і Великодня є одним із найбілших Свят Церкви, називають також 'Зелені Свята'.

У це Свято заведено прикрашати храми і свої доми зеленню, а під час Богослужіння

стояти з квітами, виявляючи цим нашу радість і вдячність Богу за те що Він Своїм

Святим і Животворчим (тим що дає життя) Духом оновив людей, народив їх (через

хрещення) в нове життя ( квіти і зелень; знак життя).

Як чудово, коли все навколо зеленіє з самого ранку люди поспішають до Церкви, щоб

побувати на Святій Службі Божій.

( Закон Божий)

Тропар Свята

Благословенний Ти, Христе Боже наш, що примудрими рибалок явив, пославши їм Духа

Святого, і ними уловив Вселенну. Чоловіколюбче, слава Тобі.
