 Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy

Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy is celebrated on the First Sunday of Great

Lent and is the joyous Commemoration of the Victory of the Iconodules over
the Iconoclasts by the confirmed decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
The Hymns of Vespers, Matins and the Divine Liturgy pay tribute to the rightful
restoration of Orthodox Icons as being essential to the worship and Devotional
Life of all Faithful Christians.
To remind us of the great significance of the restoration of Holy Icons as an
essential part of our Orthodox Worship of God and veneration of His Holy Saints
and Heavenly Hosts, the Clergy and the Faithful process around the church
holding a variety of Holy Icons. The Procession is halted every so often while
certain Hymns are chanted and the Priest pronounces the Anathemas against
the enemies of Divine Truth.
Each Sunday of Great Lent has its own special historical and Spiritual Theme and
this period was especially significant for Catechumens who were preparing

St Justin Popovich
for their Holy Baptism and thus, Entry into the Holy Church of Christ.
The theme of Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy concerns the great Victory of
the True Faith – the Divine Truth of Almighty God, which is “... the Victory that
overcomes the world...” (1 JOHN 5 : 4)

In Truth there is only one Freedom –

Furthermore, the Icons of our Saviour and His Holy Saints bear witness to the
Divine Truth that we are “... created in the Image and Likeness of God.”
(GENESIS 1:26)
We become Sanctified and Restored to our original God-Likeness through our the Holy Freedom of Christ,
constant Spiritual Struggles, Fasting and Purification (Repentance-Confession
whereby He freed us from sin,
and Holy Eucharist) as God’s living Image.
The connection of the great Victory over the heretical iconoclasm with Lent is
purely historical because the first “Triumph of Orthodoxy” occurred on this
particular First Sunday of Great Lent. from evil, from the devil.
The First Sunday of Great Lent originally commemorated the Holy Prophets of God
such as St Moses, St Aaron and St Samuel.
The Divine Liturgy “Alleluia” verses and Sacred Readings/Lessons that are
Divine Freedom binds us to God.
appointed for this day reflect this older purpose.
The Epistle of St Paul is a completion of his Epistle to the Hebrews 11: 24-26 & 11: 32 All other ‘freedoms’ are illusory, false –
– 12: 2. The Catechumens of the early Church heard the Epistle concerning the
Old Covenant men who lived by their unwavering Faith in a Divine Promise, that is to say,
the eventual Fulfilment of which they themselves did not live to witness.
After the Righteous Faithful of the Old Covenant were mentioned, St Paul wrote: “...
and all these, having obtained a Good Testimony through Faith, did not
they are all, in fact, slavery!
receive the Promise – God having provided Something better for us, that they
should not be made Perfect apart from us.”
The Sacred Gospel Lesson is from the Holy Gospel according to St John the Divine
and Beloved Theologian, which ends with an explanation of the “Something
better” that is mentioned by St Paul. (JOHN 1 : 43 – 51),
Our Lord Jesus Christ told His Faithful Disciples and Apostles that they – and we,
too - would “... see greater Things than these...” (meaning His Great Divine
Miracles).
He continued: “... Truly, truly, I say to you: hereafter you shall see Heaven open,
and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man...”
The Catechumens of the early Church and the Faithful Disciples of Christ – past
and present, who were and are preparing for Holy Pascha –will all eventually
see the inauguration of the New Age, which is the Fulfilment of all Divine
Promises, and the Glorious Manifestation of the Eternal Kingdom of God
through the Incarnation of Christ in His Holy Church.

Arise, O Lord, my God, lift up Thy
Hand: do not forget Thy poor
forever.
We now re-establish the representation
of Thee in the Flesh, O Lord, and we
reverence it relatively – and by, show
forth the Great Mystery of Thy
Dispensation. For Thou, O Friend of
mankind, appeared in Truth and
physical Nature to us – not merely in
appearance like the sons of Manis, as
Thine enemies say. Through Thy
Icon we are led to a longing and Love
for Thee.
I give Thee thanks, O Lord, with my
whole heart: I will tell of all Thy
Wonders.
Today has been manifested as a day of
Festivity, as a day filled with
happiness. The Bright Light of True
Dogmas shines like lightning. And
Christ’s Church is aglow for She is
once again adorned by the
reinstallation now of Holy Icons and
depictions, and the Light that they
radiate. And oneness of mind mong
the Faithful has God bestowed.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Moses, after a time of self-control,
received the Law and won over the
people. Elias, in Fasting, caused the
closing of the heavens; and the
Three Youths, descendants of
Abraham, by Fasting, overcame the
law-breaking tyrant. Through
Fasting, make us also worthy, O
Saviour, to arrive at Thy
Resurrection, as thus we cry aloud:
✞ “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy
Immortal: have Mercy on us!”
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.

the linen cloths lying by themselves;

himself at what had happened.

travelling that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was seven
miles from Jerusalem.
they discussed together all these
things that had happened.
while they conversed and
reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near
and went with them.
Their eyes were restrained, so that they
did not recognise Him.
said to them: “What kind of
conversation is this that you have
with one another as you walk and
are sad?”
The one whose name was Cleopas
answered and said to Him: “Art
Thou the only Stranger in Jerusalem,
and does Thou not know the things
that have happened there in these
days?”
And He said to them: “What things?”
They said to Him: “The things
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who
was a Prophet Mighty in Deed and
Word before God and all the people;
and how the Chief Priests and our
Rulers delivered Him to be
condemned to death, and crucified
Him.
“We were hoping that it was He Who
was going to Deliver Israel.
“Besides all this, today is the third day
since these things happened.
“However, certain Women of our
company, who arrived at the Tomb
early, astonished us.
For they told us that when they did not
find His Body, they beheld a Vision of
Angels who said He is alive!

went to the Tomb and found it just as
the women had said; but Him they
did not see.”
And He said to them: “O foolish ones,
and slow of heart to believe in all
that the Prophets have spoken!
Ought not the Christ to have
suffered these things and to enter
into His Glory?”
And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, He expounded to them in
all the Scriptures the Things
concerning Himself.
And drawing near to the village where
they were going, He indicated that
He would have gone further.
And they constrained Him, saying:
“Abide with us, for it is nearly
evening, and the day is far spent.”
He took bread, Blessed it and broke
it, and gave it to them.
Their eyes were opened and they
recognised Him.
