Το φοβερό μίσος των Εβραίων προς των Ιησού Χριστό, μέσα από τα Τροπάρια της Μεγάλης Πέμπτης (που προσπαθούν να απαγορέψουν)


Παρότι το Κ.Ι.Σ (Κεντρικό Ισραηλιτικό Συμβούλιο) και διάφορες άλλες εβραϊκές οργανώσεις έχουν προσπαθήσει να τα απαγορέψουν (κάτι που πέτυχαν με τα ενοχλητικά για εκείνους Εγκώμια της Μεγάλης Παρασκευής), εντούτοις τα ακόλουθα τροπάρια ψάλλονται σήμερα σε όλες τις Ορθόδοξες Εκκλησίες, υπενθυμίζοντας στους πιστούς το μίσος, τον φθόνο, την κακία και την αχαριστία των Ιουδαίων προς τον Κύριο Ημών Ιησού Χριστό. Επίσης, απαντούν στις «απορίες» ορισμένων «θεολόγων» για το ποιος σταύρωσε τον Κύριο και αποστομώνουν όσους έχουν το θράσος να μιλάνε για «αντισημιτισμό». Προσέξτε τα «κοσμητικά επίθετα» που χρησιμοποιούν οι Άγιοι Υμνογράφοι για τον «εσμό των θεοκτόνων», δηλαδή «τα γένη των Εβραίων».
Αναλυτικά, όπως τα βρήκαμε εδώ:

Ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, ὧν ἐποίησας Χριστέ, τῷ γένει τῶν Ἑβραίων σταυρωθῆναί σε κατεδίκασαν, ὄξος καὶ χολήν σε ποτίσαντες. Ἀλλὰ δὸς αὐτοῖς Κύριε κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, ὅτι οὐ συνῆκαν, τὴν σὴν συγκατάβασιν.


Ἐπὶ τῇ προδοσίᾳ οὐκ ἠρκέσθησαν Χριστὲ τὰ γένη τῶν Ἑβραίων, ἀλλ' ἐκίνουν τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, μυκτηρισμὸν καὶ χλεύην προσάγοντες. Ἀλλὰ δὸς αὐτοῖς Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, ὅτι κενά, κατὰ σοῦ ἐμελέτησαν.

Οὔτε γῆ ὡς ἐσείσθη, οὔτε πέτραι ὡς ἐρράγησαν, Ἑβραίους ἔπεισαν, οὔτε τοῦ Ναοῦ τὸ καταπέτασμα, οὔτε τῶν νεκρῶν ἡ ἀνάστασις. Ἀλλὰ δὸς αὐτοῖς Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, ὅτι κενά, κατὰ σοῦ ἐμελέτησαν.

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις· Λαός μου τί ἐποίησά σοι, ἢ τί σοι παρηνώχλησα; τοὺς τυφλούς σου ἐφώτισα, τοὺς λεπρούς σου ἐκαθάρισα, ἄνδρα ὄντα ἐπὶ κλίνης ἠνωρθωσάμην. Λαός μου, τί ἐποίησά σοι, καὶ τί μοι ἀνταπέδωκας; ἀντὶ τοῦ μάννα χολήν, ἀντὶ τοῦ ὕδατος ὄξος, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν με, σταυρῷ με προσηλώσατε· οὐκέτι στέγω λοιπόν, καλέσω μου τὰ ἔθνη, κᾀκεῖνα με δοξάσουσι, σὺν τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ Πνεύματι, κᾀγὼ αὐτοῖς δωρήσομαι, ζωὴν τὴν αἰώνιον.

Σήμερον τοῦ Ναοῦ τὸ καταπέτασμα, εἰς ἔλεγχον ῥήγνυται τῶν παρανόμων· καὶ τὰς ἰδίας ἀκτῖνας, ὁ ἥλιος κρύπτει, Δεσπότην ὁρῶν σταυρούμενον.

Τὸ ἄθροισμα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσαντο, σταυρωθῆναί σε Κύριε· αἰτίαν γὰρ ἐν σοὶ μὴ εὐρόντες, τὸν ὑπεύθυνον Βαραββᾶν ἠλευθέρωσαν, καὶ σὲ τὸν Δίκαιον κατεδίκασαν, μιαιφονίας ἔγκλημα κληρωσάμενοι. Ἀλλὰ δὸς αὐτοῖς Κύριε, τὸ ἀνταπόδομα αὐτῶν, ὅτι κενά, κατὰ σοῦ ἐμελέτησαν.

Μὴ ὡς Ἰουδαῖοι ἑορτάσωμεν· καὶ γὰρ τὸ Πάσχα ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐτύθη Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, ἀλλ' ἐκκαθάρωμεν ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ, καὶ εἰλικρινῶς δεηθῶμεν αὐτῷ. Ἀνάστα Κύριε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς ὡς φιλάνθρωπος.

Τῶν θεοκτόνων ὁ ἑσμός, Ἰουδαίων ἔθνος τὸ ἄνομον, πρὸς Πιλᾶτον ἐμμανῶς, ἀνακράζων ἔλεγε· Σταύρωσον, Χριστὸν τὸν ἀνεύθυνον. Βαραββᾶν δὲ μᾶλλον οὗτοι ᾐτήσαντο. Ἡμεῖς δὲ φθεγγόμεθα, Λῃστοῦ τοῦ εὐγνώμονος, τὴν φωνὴν πρὸς αὐτόν. Μνήσθητι καὶ ἡμῶν Σωτήρ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

Ὀλέθριος σπεῖρα θεοστυγῶν, πονηρευομένων, θεοκτόνων συναγωγή, ἐπέστη Χριστέ σοι, καὶ ὡς ἄδικον εἷλκε, τὸν Κτίστην τῶν ἁπάντων, ὃν μεγαλύνομεν.

Νόμον ἀγνοοῦντες οἱ ἀσεβεῖς, φωνὰς Προφητῶν τε, μελετῶντες διακενῆς, ὡς πρόβατον εἷλκον, σὲ τὸν πάντων Δεσπότην, ἀδίκως σφαγιάσαι· ὃν μεγαλύνομεν.

Τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἔκδοτον τὴν ζωήν, σὺν τοῖς Γραμματεύσιν, ἀναιρεῖσθαι οἱ Ἱερεῖς, παρέσχον, πληγέντες, αὐτοφθόνῳ κακίᾳ τὸν φύσει Ζωοδότην, ὃν μεγαλύνομεν.

Ἐκύκλωσαν κύνες ὡσεὶ πολλοί, ἐκρότησαν, Ἄναξ, σιαγόνα σὴν ῥαπισμῷ, ἠρώτων σε, σοῦ δέ, ψευδῆ κατεμαρτύρουν, καὶ πάντα ὑπομείνας, ἅπαντας ἔσωσας.

Δύο καὶ πονηρὰ ἐποίησεν, ὁ πρωτότοκος υἱός μου Ἰσραήλ, ἐμὲ ἐγκατέλιπε, πηγὴν ὕδατος ζωῆς, καὶ ὤρυξεν ἑαυτῷ φρέαρ συντετριμμένον, ἐμὲ ἐπὶ ξύλου ἐσταύρωσε, τὸν δὲ Βαραββᾶν ᾐτήσατο, καὶ ἀπέλυσεν· ἐξέστη ὁ οὐρανὸς ἐπὶ τούτῳ, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος τὰς ἀκτῖνας ἀπέκρυψε· σὺ δὲ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐνετράπης, ἀλλὰ θανάτῳ με παρέδωκας. Ἄφες αὐτοῖς Πάτερ ἅγιε· οὐ γὰρ οἴδασι τί ἐποίησαν.

Λαὸς δυσσεβὴς καὶ παράνομος, ἵνα τί μελετᾷ κενὰ; ἵνα τί τὴν ζωὴν τῶν ἁπάντων, θανάτῳ κατεδίκασε; Μέγα θαῦμα! ὅτι ὁ Κτίστης τοῦ Κόσμου, εἰς χεῖρας ἀνόμων παραδίδοται, καὶ ἐπὶ ξύλου ἀνυψοῦται ὁ φιλάνθρωπος, ἵνα τοὺς ἐν ᾍδῃ δεσμώτας ἐλευθερώσῃ, κράζοντας· Μακρόθυμε Κύριε δόξα σοι.

Great Holy Thursday




"Do this in remembrance of Me..."

Great Holy Thursday Morning


(The service is the Vespers and Divine Liturgy of Thursday evening which is sung in the morning by anticipation.)

Jesus drew His last breath of freedom on this Thursday night. Christ knew all the incidents which were about to take place and called to Him His Apostles in order to institute the Holy Eucharist for them and for the Church forever. At the end of March, with the full moon as a brilliant lantern in the sky and the weather mild, the people in Jerusalem enjoyed the beginning of spring. In this atmosphere, Christ presented Bread and Wine as the Elements of His Very Body and His Very Blood; they are the Precious Gifts which have been left as His perpetual Presence in the Church. The institution of the Holy Eucharist and its re-enactment through the centuries, both as a sacrifice and sacred ceremony (Mysterion), is the life-giving remembrance which, along with the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ, constitutes the basis of salvation for the Christian.


Then followed the incidents of the dramatic closing moments of Christ's life. After the washing of His Apostles' feet, He pointed out the betrayer, inaugurated the Eucharist, and pronounced the new commandment of love for one another. He spoke to them words of comfort, promising the descent of the Holy Spirit to complete man's union with Christ. His departure, Christ said, would bring to them and the world joy. Christ took His Apostles out in the mild night where He could see face-to-face His co-workers in the bright light of the full moon. In this spiritual mood and physical setting, Jesus withdrew to pray. After this agony of the "bloody sweat" came the kiss of Judas and His arrest. He thus became the source of spiritual and physical freedom for mankind.

The Divine Liturgy of St. Basil is officiated on this day. The readings are: 2 Cor. 11:23-32; Matt. 26:2-28; John 13:3-17; Matt. 26:21-39; Luke 22:43-44; Matt. 26:40-75; Matt. 27:1-2. During this Liturgy, the priest prepares the "Amnos," the Holy Communion, which is kept throughout the whole year to be given the faithful in times of sickness. The Body and Blood of Christ is present in the Church during the entire year and throughout the ages. On this day, with greater feeling than ever, Christians come for Holy Communion singing: "Receive me Today, O Son of God, as a partaker of Thy Mystic Feast; for I will not speak of the Mystery to Thine enemies, I will not kiss Thee as did Judas, but as the thief I will confess Thee. Lord, remember me when I comest to Thy Kingdom." "We worship Thy passion, O Christ..."
Great Holy Thursday Evening


(The service of the HOLY PASSION of our Lord Jesus Christ. The service is Matins of Friday morning sung by anticipation, on Thursday evening.)

Good Friday celebrates the holy, saving, and awesome Passion of Christ. To take away our sins, Christ willingly endured spitting, scourging, buffeting, scorn, mocking, and purple robe; the reed, sponge, vinegar, nails, spear, and above all, the Cross and Death. The confession from the cross of the penitent thief, crucified with Christ, is celebrated. This service is long, but its content is dramatic and deeply moving for the devout Christian. Participation in the prayers and the historical sequence of the events, as related in the Gospels and hymns, provides a vivid foundation for the great events yet to come. Following are the references of the "Twelve Gospel" readings of this service:

1. St. John 13:31 thru Ch. 18:1
2. St. John 18:1-29
3. St. Matthew 26:57-75
4. St. John 18:28 thru Ch. 19:16
5. St. Matthew 27:3-32
6. St. Mark 15:16-32
7. St. Matthew 27:33-54
8. St. Luke 23:32-49
9. St. John 19:38-42
10. St. Mark 15:43-47
11. St. John 19:38-42
12. St. Matthew 27:62-66

These readings relate the last instructions of Christ to His disciples, the prophecy of the drama of the Cross, the dramatic prayer of Christ and His new commandment. The day should be devoted to reading the "Gospel of the Testament" of Christ which He left for all men. The Church services during Holy Week re-enact the events of this Gospel.

After the reading of the fifth Gospel comes the procession with the Crucifix around the church, while the priest chants the 15th antiphon: "Today is hung upon the Tree, He Who did hang the land in the midst of the waters. A Crown of thorns crowns Him Who is King of Angels. He is wrapped about with the purple of mockery Who wrapped the Heavens with clouds. He received buffetings Who freed Adam in Jordan. He was transfixed with nails Who is the Bridegroom of the Church. He was pierced with a spear Who is the Son of the Virgin. We worship Thy Passion, O Christ. Show also unto us thy glorious Resurrection."

During the Procession, the faithful Christian kneels and prays for his spiritual welfare, imitating the thief on the Cross who confessed his faith and devotion to Christ. He then approaches and reverently kisses the Crucifix.
