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
