This book presents the fundamental theological facts related to the Lord Christ and offers interpretative keys to understand the central Christological points of the Lord's feasts. It is emphasized that Christology holds an important place in Orthodox teaching.
The book is divided into two main parts. The first includes presentations that were given at a Seminar of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens in the year 1994-1995 and refer to the feasts of the Lord that constitute the "Twelve Paschas," as the Church names them. The second part includes Christological texts that were published in various magazines and relate to the feasts of the Lord.
The events related to the Lord cannot be divided or evaluated. They are inspiring in every Divine Liturgy and remind us of the condescension and self-emptying of Christ, who became for us the Cause of salvation. However, the Church has decided that these events should be celebrated separately, thus sanctifying time and offering us the opportunity to enjoy and experience the milestones of divine Economy in our personal lives.
Each feast is examined individually, and the reader will notice that the given analysis is comprehensive, detailed, and based on the teachings of the holy Fathers.
