There is a plain wooden Cross because we have the plaschenitsya. The plaschenitsya is an icon of Our Lord taken down from the Cross and Our Lady holds His Sacred Head in Her hands, while St. John, St. Mary Magdalene, Joseph of Arimathea and the holy women look at Our Lord.<br /><br />When one venerates the Tomb, you approach the Tomb on your knees. At the edge of the first pew, you make a prostration before the Tomb, then go forward on your knees and kiss the Holy Gospel, the Five Wounds of Our Lord and the crucifix (the crucifix is part of the Tomb). You go backwards on your knees, make another prostration, and leave the Tomb on your knees.<br /><br />Everyone is asked to spend at least one hour to "guard" the Tomb, so that Our Lord is not left alone.<br /><br />Wishing you and everyone a happy and Holy Pascha (Easter).<br /><br />(We can't use the Paschal greeting until tomorrow night (Paschal Vigil Liturgy).<br /><br /><br />Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389930802662995142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-75031906171048471752016-03-25T11:50:55.011-04:002016-03-25T11:50:55.011-04:00The Cross is held up for us, and we file past - - ...The Cross is held up for us, and we file past - - men first, then women --<br /><br />Is this still practiced in Novus Ordo? Seems the lesbians and 'emancipated' liberal men and women would have already had their emasculated priests and bishops to have discarded this.Maudie N Mandevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608333522668477953noreply@blogger.com
