Monday of the Holy Pascha Week ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As Adam and Eve covered their sin with the fig tree, Christ rebukes the fig tree to tell us we can no longer cover our sins with a cloak of hypocrisy. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “The fig tree with its broad leaves represents the wide road. Also it reminds us of the sin which Adam tried to cover with its leaves.” – St John Chrysostom ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Adorn yourselves with the virtue so we will not experience the wrath of God, but his mercy. We cannot be hypocritical. Even our churches cannot have good and bad fruits.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #coptic #orthodox #holyweek #figtree #pascha #orthodoxy #holymonday

Lazarus Saturday ⁣ ⁣ “O the marvel! the ill-smelling corpse, even after the fourth day from death, He brought forth out of the tomb; and him that was fettered fast and bound hand and foot, He commanded to walk! And immediately, the dead man started up, and the corpse began to run, being delivered from its corruption and losing its bad smell, and escaping through the gates of death, and without any hindrance to running being caused by the bonds. And although deprived of sight by the covering which was over his face, the dead man runs without any hindrance towards Him Who had called him, and recognises the masterful voice. For Christ’s language was God-befitting and His command was kingly, having power to loose from death, and to bring back from corruption, and to exhibit energy beyond expression.” – St Clement of Alexandria ⁣ ⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ ⁣ #coptic #orthodox #lazarussaturday #ressurection #faith #comeforth #hope #truth #lent #fasting
