The Feast of the Cross - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Holy Cross held a prominent and revered place in early Christian life and worship. It was a sign of protection, holiness, worship, and blessing to believers everywhere, even before The Empress Helen discovered its location.After presenting the readings for these feasts, the next chapter contains a thorough introduction to the Feast by our beloved father, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III. The following chapters include various excerpts from historical accounts of the discovery of the Holy Cross, as well as theological and biblical meditations on the Cross by the Fathers of the Church, with a special segment by one of the Catechetical Homilies attributed to St. Cyril of Jerusalem.As with the other books in the Treasures of the Fathers of the Church series, the paramount objective of this work is to introduce the believers to the “trialogue” of faith—the harmony among the Holy Scriptures, the Church Fathers and the Church. Through this symphony of discourse, the believer not only reads the Holy Scriptures, but understands it through the homilies and commentaries of the Fathers of the Church, as well as through the Church life itself. This is a “companion” to the Coptic Orthodox Lectionary.
