Twelve Gospel passages are read that give the entire Passion narrative, from Christ’s words to His disciples in the Upper Room, to His Crucifixion and Entombment. The readings are interspersed with poignant and beautiful hymns.
Πορεύομαι ἑτοιμάσαι τόπον ὑμῖν. Καὶ ἐὰν πορευθῶ καὶ ἑτοιμάσω ὑμῖν τόπον, πάλιν ἔρχομαι καὶ παραλήψομαι ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἐμαυτόν· ἵνα ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἦτε.
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2-3)
So true! Just finished listening to this service live streamed from Astoria. I’ll have the glorious sounds of Greek in my head all night. If only I could remember the forms and the meanings. Thank you for this pic and comment!
