Psalm 50, repentant

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and my sin before me is taken out. I have sinned against you alone and done evil before you; as if you were justified in your words, and conquered when you judge Ty. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sins give birth to me, my mother. Behold, thou hast loved the truth; the unknown and secret wisdom of Thy revealed to me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Give joy and joy to my hearing; the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of Your salvation and confirm me with the Sovereign Spirit. I will teach the wicked in Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation, my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. As if you would have desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God the spirit is broken; a contrite and humble heart God will not despise. Please, O Lord, with Thy favor Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and a burnt offering; then they will offer bullocks on your altar.

A key moment not only in Christianity, but also in the history of all mankind. no more important event, which is evidenced even by such a simple fact as the countdown of our calendar from this day. The moment the apostles found the tomb of the Son of God empty, world history divided into "before" and "after". You may not believe in eternal life, but billions of people who call themselves Christians hope for it.

In Orthodoxy, there is a wonderful prayer that begins with the words "Seeing the Resurrection of Christ." Its text is solemnly sung at every Sunday vigil after Pascha. At the same time, tears come to the eyes of many, people make bows and the sign of the cross, expressing their respect for the sacrifice that Christ brought for us.

The Importance of the Resurrection

Testified about not only believers, but also respected scientists and philosophers. For example, Aristides, who lived in the Posters under the emperor Hadrian. He briefly and consistently outlined the very essence of the events that took place in Jerusalem.

• The Messiah named Christ had 12 disciples who were supposed to spread the Good News around the world.
• He was arrested and executed by the Jews, but resurrected on the third day, then ascended to heaven, to His Father.
• The students began to travel different countries where the gospel was preached. They were humble, but they had such a strong faith that they preferred to die rather than give it up.

This Easter hymn perfectly reflects the significance of Christ's Resurrection. The text of the prayer is accessible, solemn and not very long. It is sung to the motive of the sixth tone, that is, a certain church chant, they are known to everyone who regularly attends services.

liturgical use

This chant also sounds solemnly during big holiday- The Exaltation of the Cross, immediately after an excerpt from is read in the middle of the temple. Although the holiday is dedicated to the sufferings of the Savior on the Cross, the Cross is venerated, but there is also a place for Easter joy on this day. To some, this will probably seem inappropriate. But the Holy Church finds a firm foundation in everything.

• The prototype at first was a small celebration of a small Easter. In the ancient Church, it was held every 40-50 days. It was also called "".
• The very origin of the word "Exaltation" is connected with the image of rebellion, resurrection, ascension. The acquisition of the Cross symbolized his rising from the earth.

Such a great event could not fail to remind of the very purpose of Christ's sacrifice - His Resurrection, which is now awaited for themselves by all Christians without exception. In the Orthodox Church, this Sunday prayer is used quite often:

• after the beginning of the celebration of Easter until the Ascension (on this day also);
• at the night Easter service during the canon;
• at Matins (except Palm Sunday);
• on Lazarus Saturday;
• during the Crusade.

In the period after Easter, prayers sound three times in a row. After the Ascension, it is sung only once. Orthodox Christians consider death on Easter week to be a special mercy, since tradition says that at this time the gates of paradise are open to everyone. The dead during this period are buried according to a special rank, which also includes this anthem.

Historical evidence

The text of the chant is quite ancient, the first written collections containing it date back to the 5th century. A similar hymn is found in catholic church, it is sung on Great (Good) Friday. It is possible that he came to the Latin rite from the Jerusalem church thanks to pilgrims. Myself Life-Giving Cross kept in the Church of the Resurrection. Perhaps this (about the contemplation of the place of resurrection) is narrated by the first lines:

The text of the prayer Resurrection of Christ who saw

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Thy Holy Resurrection: Thou art our God, unless we know Thee otherwise, we call Thy name. Come, all faithful, let us worship the Holy Resurrection of Christ: behold, the joy of the whole world has come through the Cross. Always blessing the Lord, let us sing of His Resurrection: having endured the crucifixion, destroy death by death.

Historians date the anthem with a rather wide spread - from 335 (when the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was completed) to 614 (the beginning of the invasion of the Persians, who captured the Cross). Then the shrine was returned back (in 630), but this lasted only a few years. After that, the Cross was carried away from the eternal city forever.

Interpretation and meaning of the prayer of the Resurrection of Christ who saw

The Lord's victory over death inspires many worthy fathers to interpret this text. The theology can be summed up in a single phrase: "Christ was tormented in the body, in the body and rose again." Thoughts about the sufferings of the Lord are awakened by the performance of a solemn hymn. We see not only humanity, but also the divine part of the Son of Man, who gave us Easter joy.

It is more convenient to interpret the lines, of which there are only 15:

Seeing the Resurrection of Christ

In fact, of course, no mortal was present at the rising of Jesus, who died, was taken down from the cross, and laid in a cave. Here we are talking about the other - about personal resurrection. It shows that we are free from the power of sin and death. For everyone who accepted Christ, life began in a new way. It is illumined by the grace of God, for which we personally resurrected, leaving the baptismal font.

Renewed Christians are filled with the highest feelings. They seek to give glory to the Lord, which is expressed in worship. It should be not only bodily, because God first of all seeks the heart of a person, waits for worship in Spirit and truth. Worship speaks of the Holiness of the Son of God, which was rejected by many heretics of the first centuries of Christianity.

the only sinless

The Lord is the light, the source of life and all that is good in it. Holiness Christians receive as a gift. It makes us strive for the good. Although the root of sin still remains in the soul, the righteous begin to recognize and fear it. The greater the power of sanctification, the stronger the aversion to evil. With these words, believers confess the uniqueness of the God-man, declare their desire to grow in faith and righteousness.

Worship your cross, Christ

The whole plan for the salvation of mankind was carried out with the help of the Cross. Hatred of evil and determination to fight against its manifestations direct to the righteous path. The journey is not easy, you will need support. Through His suffering, the Lord consecrated the Cross, turning it into a weapon against the devil and his minions.

And we sing and praise your holy resurrection

Death, however, was not the end of the road. The greatest loss turned into the greatest victory. It is her that the parishioners praise in their song. They rejoice in salvation, the promised meeting with the Son of God. Atonement was made, after which the Lord appeared to remain with his Church until the end of time.

Thou art our God, do we not know You otherwise?

Confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God is an important step on the path to faith. This means that the person realized and accepted the sacrifice that was made for the sake of each of us. Personal

meeting with the Savior is very important. Without it, faith will not be complete, as well as joy. The only way children can thank the heavenly Father is complete fidelity to Him always and in everything.

we call your name

Chanting the name of the Lord is a sacred act that used to be said only in the sanctuary, once a year. Today, everyone is free to invoke it whenever they want. The pronunciation of these holy words must be done consciously. So we not only ask for something, but also express our love.

Come all faithful, let us worship the saint Christ's resurrection

Our joy is not complete if there is no one to share it with. Bliss is reserved for all the faithful. Joint worship is especially gracious, Christ Himself bequeathed to believers to gather together to praise God. The Resurrection transformed human nature, it became perfect, which the apostles saw. Now the Son of God in this body sits next to the Father. Thanks to Him, this became possible for all the descendants of Adam.

The whole world, lying in sin, today has a great weapon against the devil - the Cross of the Lord. As an instrument of shameful execution, today it has become a symbol of eternal life. Every Christian should remember this and rejoice in his salvation, glorifying God.

The Lord voluntarily ascended Golgotha ​​to experience death in human body. With this, he pulled out her sting. After all, after the fall, death became natural for people who were originally created perfect. After the resurrection, Christ ascended to heaven, clearing the way to paradise for human souls. Therefore, He deserves eternal glory, honor and worship!

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, / let us bow to the Holy Lord Jesus, / the only sinless one, / we worship Your Cross, Christ, / and we sing and praise Your holy Resurrection: / Thou art our God, / unless we know otherwise, / we call Your name. / Come all faithful, / let us bow to the Holy Resurrection of Christ: / behold, the joy of the whole world has come by the Cross. / Always bless the Lord, / sing His Resurrection: / having endured the crucifixion, / destroy death with death.

Translation:

Seeing the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Thy Holy Resurrection, for Thou art our God, we know no other than Thee, we invoke Thy name. Come, all faithful (Christians), let us bow down to Christ's holy resurrection, for behold, joy has come to the whole world through the Cross. Always blessing the Lord, we sing of His resurrection, for He, having endured the crucifixion, crushed death by death.

Seeing - seeing; we name - we call; behold - for, for behold; come - came; bless - bless.

About the chant:

The origin of the hymn is ancient, originally it was part of the Easter service. But already in the 9th century, in the Easter Jerusalem “Following”, the text is used not only in Easter service(after the 6th ode of the canon and on the clock), but also at every all-night vigil after the reading of the Gospel. As the unchanging chant of the Sunday service, the text was chosen as the most restrained for its solemnity and joy.

Meaning:

“Seeing the Resurrection of Christ” - this phrase implies a spiritual vision of what happened, in particular, after reading the Sunday Gospel at the service.

The text places special emphasis on the Savior's suffering on the Cross, “Let us accept everything for the sake of the Word; Nails are desirable, though very painful. For it is more desirable to suffer with Christ and for Christ than to enjoy with others” (St. Gregory the Theologian).

Music:

S. V. Rachmaninov, from the “All-Night Vigil”, is performed by the chamber choir of the Ministry of Culture under the direction of Valery Polyansky:

The great Russian composer, Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943), among many instrumental compositions, presented the musical world with two spiritual choral cycles: “The All-Night Vigil” and “The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom".

The Vespers was written mainly in ancient chants, or it was entirely their own music with a stylization of these melodies, as, for example, in the first issue of “Come, Let's Bow”. “Seeing the Resurrection of Christ” is an arrangement of the Znamenny chant, in separate sections the choir sings an ancient melody in unison, thereby creating a certain archaism in the music. The end is dramatic in character (“Destroy death by death”), as a remembrance of the Sacrifice offered by Christ for the human race.

P. G. Chesnokov. Choir of the Holy Trinity-Sergius Lavra:

Pavel Chesnokov (1877-1944), Rachmaninov's peer, was close to him in relation to sacred music, their works have much in common in their severity and bright solemn testimony of faith (“Thou art our God”). His version of the chant is an adaptation of the Kiev chant.

Sunday hymn for reading the Gospel.

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Thy Holy Resurrection: Thou art our God, unless we know Thee otherwise, we call Thy name.

The Experience of Divine Thought (2010)

Divine Thought for Sunday Hymn

"Seeing the Resurrection of Christ"

Oh my wonderful Lord

and my God bless!

This marvelous Sunday hymn - a hymn to the Resurrection of Christ - is sung at the all-night vigil before the Resurrection after the reading of the Sunday Gospel at Matins. We have a good custom in the Church to sing it after the end of the Sunday Liturgy, after the dismissal, and before the kissing of the Cross of the Lord.

My Lord wakes me up at night. I lie in bed and with a clear, pure mind I say a blessed prayer with the sweetest and divine name of Jesus Christ: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us" . I have no other purpose than to repeat His all-powerful and dearest name to my heart. I reverently and quietly repeat it with my thought, peer into it and see it. There are no extraneous thoughts and no extra sensations. I do not have to make any effort to keep my mind in the words of this prayer, inexpressible and mysterious in its effect. Nothing scatters my mind and no one shakes it. Quiet and blessed. In the simplicity of my heart, I repeat the dear words of this wonderful prayer, the whole essence and power of which is in the name of the named Jesus Christ! So I, listening to the words of prayer, invisibly imbibe its grace-filled power, not looking for anything and not leaning anywhere. I stand with my mind before my God with one realization that there is He and I, and my spiritual children, whom I remember before Him in the words “have mercy on us.” I'm quiet, calm, peaceful, good! What else does? But suddenly comes the One who is my Lord and of all that He has created! He powerfully, but very gently, takes my mind and opens another understanding to it. There is no possibility and no desire to resist this! My mind, like an obedient servant, is drawn after His Lord and sees what He is pleased to show it. This time He was pleased to show me what is hidden in the Sunday song “Seeing the Resurrection of Christ”.

Many times I sang this beautiful and very beloved song both at church services and for myself. Extraordinary power pours into the soul with its singing or prayer! But I could not even imagine that in this hymn to the Resurrection of Christ, where, it would seem, everything is so directly and unambiguously written, there is a place for the work of the mind and a mystery. I will try to convey what I saw and felt under the influence of the grace of God in the words of this wondrous and great song, singing the mystery of Christ's Resurrection.

Here is the text of this wonderful song, which I will break into points according to how they will be interpreted by me:

1. Seeing the Resurrection of Christ
2. Worship the Holy Lord Jesus
3. the only sinless

Saying or reading this line, we realize that none of us witnessed that greatest and most salutary event in the history of mankind, when our Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and buried in a stone cave, was resurrected by the power of His Divinity. We learn about this event from reading the Gospel, but we accept it by faith. Why do we sing “seeing” and not “hearing” or “believing” in relation to this resurrection? What resurrection of Christ could we personally see? After all, it is not by chance that the Church used the word “seeing” in this song.

We are talking here about the resurrection that each of us can see in ourselves, in our inner man! This resurrection manifests itself in us in two ways. On the one hand, as deliverance from the power of Satan and his demons, from the power that captivated us and mortified us before that sin. After all, in the baptismal font we died to sin and renounced Satan and everything connected with him. On the other hand, as a feeling of a qualitatively new, previously unknown and true life life with God, life by His grace! After all, for this we rise (resurrection) with Christ in the font of baptism, so that from now on we will live only with Him and for His sake! This is our resurrection, at the same time, there is also our birth from above, from God. Thus, leaving the font, we become the children of God and, by human nature, small Christs. However, this resurrection of ours, which we see and feel in ourselves, was brought to us by the merits of our Savior Jesus Christ, which apparently, most clearly and fully manifested in His resurrection from the dead.

Seeing in ourselves these wonderful changes that we observe in our resurrection for life with God, we are filled with good thoughts and feelings for our Resurrector, Savior and Benefactor Jesus Christ, which we express by our worship of Him as the Lord God, worship in spirit and in truth. . But in this worship, we not only give Him due honor and thanksgiving for deliverance from death, but we also confess His incomparable Holiness, from which all other holiness in the Church and the people of God originates and has strength.

The indescribable Holiness of the Holy and unattainable for us God, through Christ attainable by faith, passes according to His immeasurable merits through the Holy Spirit and to every faithful one who reveres His Holiness. Receiving this holiness as a gift, observing and feeling it in ourselves, we are amazed at its actions, and above all, at the tasting of life and enjoyment of the peace of the heart. Holiness makes us bright, pure and luminous! After all, God is Light! And in this Light, which manifests itself in us as our spiritual light, we clearly see all our insufficiency, weakness and imperfection. Moreover, we see an incomprehensible combination of holiness and sin in us. Alas, sin still remains in us, but now as a hated and unwanted filth, sickness and infirmity. The more we are sanctified, the more and more clearly we see in ourselves the sin that clings to us in every possible way and fiercely resists the holiness that gradually conquers it. And in this struggle, again and again we look to our Firstborn and the sinless winner of our sin, the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why, in this contrast, we confess with all our hearts that He is in His human nature the only sinless! Sinless, not as one who did not commit sin or fought with it in Himself and won, but as not at all involved in it! Absolutely sinless in all parts and manifestations of human nature! And for us, who find something else in ourselves, this is a miracle and, at the same time, an incentive to fight against the remnants of sin living in us. Thus, in the words “only sinless,” we confess His unique sinlessness, and our hatred of sin, and our zeal to fight it until it is completely delivered from it, so that by grace we can become like our Firstborn and Model Jesus Christ!

Having hated sin and determined to fight it, we need support for this fight and help to win. And here we, turning our gaze to the Conqueror of sin, see that He accomplished this victory with His Cross and on His Cross. The Cross of Christ is revealed to us as a great God-sanctified weapon against the devil, his demons and sin in all its manifestations. At the same time, the Cross of Christ is revealed to us as the Great Altar of God, on which, for the sake of our salvation, the incarnate Son of God deigned to suffer and die. For all of us, people, and for each of us individually, God the Father offered His Only Son as a Sacrifice and Himself accepted this Sacrifice, having reconciled Him with people! With the realization of this Mystery of the Cross revealed to us by God, we worship it as the Cross of Christ!

1. and thy holy resurrection we sing and glorify

But the Sacrifice offered on the Cross by Christ was not the annihilation of Christ, and His death was not His loss! He returned to us with His Divine Resurrection! The joy of this return, and more than any of our hope of finding Christ, we express with our singing and doxology of His joyful resurrection for us. Hooray! We are saved, redeemed, but we are not alone! Christ has returned to us with His resurrection! And therefore this is His resurrection for us a great Holy thing! It is for us holy Sunday! And we happily sing it and praise it every seventh day of every week! This is the day of our holiday, rest from labors, rest from struggles. This is the happiest day for us!

Glorifying Christ's resurrection and rejoicing as His children to return to us, we do this for ourselves. But rightly rejoicing and celebrating His glorious victory over death and sin, we cannot be satisfied with this joy alone. We want to aspire to the Source and Cause of this incomparable joy, to the Risen Christ! Turning to Him, we marvel at the greatest miracle of His resurrection revealed to us, understanding that He Himself, by His Divinity, resurrected His humanity! At the same time, we realize that He did this for us and that He is now forever ours! That's why we confess Him our God!

In the joy of this realization and confession, we do not know how we can repay Him for all that He has done for us. His gifts are so great, so wonderful, so inexpressible that we are perplexed in the choice of expression of the feelings that have embraced us. Here we find in ourselves only one thing that we can confess to Him as a sign of great gratitude for all His mercy and good deeds to us - this is loyalty and devotion to Him forever! That is why we tirelessly lift up the song “Do you not know and do not want to know another God, King and Master”!

But the confession of fidelity is not enough for us, for we want to express not only a feeling of gratitude, but also love for the risen Christ. To express our love for Him, we find nothing better than tirelessly repeating the name of the Beloved: “Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ."

Inviting all the faithful to rejoice with us in Christ our God found in His resurrection, we again wish to express our feelings by our common worship of the holy Resurrection of Christ, to which we call all the faithful.

But this repeated and filled our worship is supplemented by a new awareness! Our holy God Christ has returned to us in our human nature in its even better and most perfect quality – resurrected! But this resurrection of His was not the simple return of the life that had departed from the body, as it was, for example, with His friend Lazarus. The Resurrection of Christ brought human nature to the highest possible perfection! This perfection has reached that ineffable state that the resurrected Christ returned in His resurrected flesh to Heaven and sat down at the right hand of His Heavenly Father! Oh, the unspeakable miracle! Oh, amazing glory! This is where we are lifted up by the resurrected Christ!

From this heavenly height, we again descend to earth, look at the whole world created by God and confess the basis of the joy brought by the Resurrection of Christ to the whole world - the Cross of Christ! Oh, marvelous marvel! Oh, great mystery! An instrument of death and sorrow has become an instrument of life and joy!

From realizing and experiencing all this, what else can we do, how not to always bless our Lord Jesus Christ!

And to sing of His glorious and most necessary resurrection, by which He took us away from death and hell, opened the Kingdom of Heaven to us and gave us our resurrection, which makes us capable of eternal and blessed life with Him and the Most Holy Trinity!

For for the sake of this, He, the eternally blessed, humbled himself for us to the point that he suffered death through the crucifixion, shameful among people, which became the highest glory of His economy!

But even this taste of death He accepted voluntarily and only for us, for the sake of the final and complete destruction of our main enemy - death!

Deliverance from death and the gift of eternal life with God - this is the greatest work of Christ and His greatest gift to us!

The end, and glory, honor and worship to our God in Christ risen, to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen!

(Celebrated at the end of Lent

This the greatest holiday stands alone among the Orthodox holidays. It has a very accurate popular name - “holidays Holiday”.

On the third day after the burial of Christ early morning on Sunday, several women (Mary, Salome, John.) went to the tomb to bring incense intended for the body of Jesus. As they approached, they saw that big Stone, blocking the entrance to the tomb, is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and the Angel of the Lord sits on a stone. His appearance was like lightning, and His clothes were as white as snow. Frightened by the Angel, the women were in awe. The angel said: “Do not be afraid, for I know what you are looking for: Jesus crucified. He is not here. He is risen, as he said. With fear and joy, the women hurried to tell the Apostles about what they saw. “And lo, Jesus met them and said, Rejoice! And they, coming forward, took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them: Do not be afraid; go tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” And as once, His disciples saw the Risen One.

On the bright feast of Pascha, the Church calls on believers to “purify their senses and see Christ shining with the impregnable light of the Resurrection, and, singing the song of victory, hear clearly from Him: “Rejoice!”

“Let no one mourn for sins, for forgiveness has shone forth from the tomb. Let no one fear death, for the death of the Savior has freed us: it was quenched by the One whom it held in its power.

He accepted what he saw and fell for what he did not see.

Death, where is your sting? Hell, where is your victory? . Christ is risen - and not a single dead in the tomb. For Christ, having risen from the dead, laid the foundation for the resurrection of the dead” (from the words of St. John Chrysostom).

Explaining the sacrament of Christ's death, the Church teaches that according to His position in the tomb and before the Holy Resurrection, Christ the Son of God, God and man, “was in the tomb in flesh and in hell in soul, in paradise with the thief and on the throne with the Father and the Holy Spirit, all filling like the Omnipresent." “Today the Lord has captured hell, having freed the prisoners who have been there from the ages,” proclaims the Church, co-present in the spirit of the Resurrection of Christ.

And just as the blood of the slain lambs once served as a sign of God’s promise to the Jews, so that, having avoided the punishment that befell the Egyptians, they would leave Egypt and enter the Promised Land (the word “Easter” means “transition”), so Christ is “the new Easter, the living Sacrifice, the Lamb God, who took upon Himself the sin of the world” - He concluded the New Testament with His blood, laying the foundation for the transition of the People of God to the Resurrection and eternal life.
