Saint Thomas Sunday: Antipascha

Every day during the week of Easter, called Bright Week by the

Church, the paschal services are celebrated in all their splendor.

Then, at the end of the week, on Saturday evening, the second

Sunday after Easter is celebrated in remembrance of the appear-

ance of Christ to the Apostle Thomas “after eight days” (Jn 20.26).

The Sunday after Easter, is the last day of Bright Week. It is there-

fore called the Antipascha, and it was only on this day in the early

church that the newly-baptized Christians removed their robes

and entered once again into the life of this world.

At each of the daily services until Ascension Day we sing the East-

er Troparion. At each of the Sunday services beginning with Anti-

pascha, we sing the Easter canon and hymns, and repeat the cel-

ebration of the “first day of the week” on which Christ rose from

the dead. © http://www.saintstevens.org/Paschal%20Season/Thomas%

Didn’t you notice that when the risen Lord appears to His disciples, His glorified body still bears

His wounds? Christ was not raised as a ghost or a spirit, but as a whole human being with a

body. His horrible wounds were part of Who He freely chose to become as a human being for

our sakes, and He arises victorious with them. He has taken these wounds upon Himself purely

out of love for us and has used them to defeat evil and death.

Of course, we must not deny the truth about lives; we should not pretend that all is well

when it is not. Our growth in holiness is an eternal journey, and we certainly have not yet ar-

rived. But we must recognize that Christ rose again to bring the dead to life, to heal our wounds

and transform all who are created in His image and likeness; and, yes, that includes all of us. The

good news of Pascha is that we are no longer held captive by sin and death. Sin only has the

power in our lives that we allow it to have; the same is true of the fear of death, violence, suffer-

ing, and all the other works of darkness that can so easily dominate us.

When the Risen Lord breathes on His apostles and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit,” we are

reminded of the creation of Adam in Genesis. The divine breath gave us life to begin with, but

with our sin and corruption we have rejected that life and preferred death instead. Now the

same Lord Who created us has conquered death on our behalf. The Second Adam breathes on

humanity again, bringing life once more to the first Adam and restoring us to our original dignity.

And this time He gives us an ongoing remedy for our sins: the ministry of forgiveness through

His Body, the Church. “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of

any, they are retained.”

This apostolic ministry continues in the Church through the Sacrament of Confession. Even

though we fall away time and time again from the new life in Christ, He extends the joy of His

resurrection to us by forgiving us, restoring us to the life of the Kingdom, healing our spiritual

diseases, and helping us grow ever more like Him. No, Confession is not negative, for it is the

good news of the Savior’s victory over death applied to us personally, to the wounds and scars of

our lives that we rarely expose to anyone else. Through our humble confession, Christ conquers

the evil in us and empowers us to life with the joy and confident hope of those who have passed

over the slavery of sin to the glorious freedom of the children of God. No, Confession is not only

for Lent, and we should all make regular and conscientious use of this Sacrament—not out of

legalism or excessive guilt, but as a therapy to help us enter more fully into the joy of the Lord.

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Thank you very much for partaking in the services dur-

ing Holy Week and Bright Week. We continue to cele-

brate Easter for 40 Days until the Ascension of Our

Lord. According to our Byzantine Tradition we do not

kneel from Easter until the Feast of Pentecost. Please

keep this tradition.

Thank you to all who helped to prepare our church for

Pascha including cleaning the church, changing altar

cloths, preparing the tomb, and bringing flower, to

name a few.

Especially much

appreciation

and thanks to

those who came to pray on Good Friday at the tomb of

Christ. We had a 24 hour vigil through the night. We

praised Jesus for the gift of salvation for us and continued

to pray for the development of our parish.

Thank you for your Easter gifts of love for parish priest

and the Metropolitan. May the Risen Lord bless all of you

and your families.

Chirst is Risen!
