Ὁ συνάναρχος καὶ συναΐδιος Υἱός, καὶ Λόγος τοῦ Πατρός, ἐπὶ πώλου ἀλόγου, ἦλθε σήμερον καθεζόμενος, ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὃν τὰ Χερουβὶμ μετὰ δέους ἀτενίσαι οὐ δύνανται. Παῖδες ἀνευφήμησαν, μετὰ βαΐων καὶ κλάδων, τὸν αἶνον μυστικῶς ἀναμέλποντες. Ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις, τῷ ἐλθόντι σῶσαι ἐκ πλάνης, ἄπαν τὸ γένος ἡμῶν.
The co-beginningless and co-eternal Son and Word of the Father came today to the city of Jerusalem sitting upon the colt of an ass, even He upon Whom the Cherubim cannot gaze without fear. The children acclaim Him with palms and branches, mystically singing out the praise: Hosanna in the highest unto Him that cometh to save our whole race from error.
Beautiful hymn; beautiful photo. Blessed Holy Week from Australia.
Dear father Justin,
