P EO P LE
PENTECOST SUNDAY is also referred to AS SUNDAY OF THE HOLY TRINITY or SUNDAY OF

THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, and is one of the Great Feasts of the
Eastern Orthodox Church, which is celebrated 50 DAYS AFTER HOLY PASCHA
and therefore always falls on a Sunday.
Fifty days after the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on
the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, while the
Disciples and the Apostles, as well as many
other followers of Christ were gathered
together to pray, God the Holy Spirit
descended upon them in the form of
...cloven tongues of Fire... with the sound
of a Mighty Rushing Wind, and they all
began to speak in different languages that
were foreign to them.
Many Hebrews had gathered from all over the
known world in Jerusalem at that time to
celebrate the Great Feast of Pentecost, and,
having been drawn to where the Apostles
and Disciples of Christ had gathered, they
were astonished to hear the illiterate
Fishermen and the other Disciples of Christ praising Almighty God in all
the different languages of the world so that EACH NATIONALITY WAS CLEARLY
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD THEY SPOKE.
This amazing Event was written in detail by St Luke in his Book of the Acts
of the Apostles, Chapter 2.
The number 50 as in the 50th day after Holy Pascha symbolises Eternal,
Heavenly Fulfilment i.e. seven times seven, plus one.
The Eastern Orthodox Church regards Pentecost as THE FINAL FULFILLMENT OF
THE DIVINE MISSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST - and the beginning of the
Messianic Age of the Kingdom of God, which is Mystically Present in His
Church. (In fact, the Messianic Age began much earlier with the
conception and birth of our Lady Theotokos the Mother of God
Incarnate.)
PENTECOST SUNDAY WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC
CHURCH OF CHRIST.
Besides celebrating the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Feast of Pentecost
also celebrates THE FULL REVELATION OF THE HOLY TRINITY GOD THE FATHER,
GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The Hymns celebrate the Sign of THE FINAL ACT OF ALMIGHTY GODS SELFDISCLOSURE TO THE WORLD OF HIS CREATION AND THE DIVINE REVELATION OF THE
PURPOSE OF HIS DIVINE PLAN.
To Orthodox Christians, the Feast of Pentecost is not just a celebration of an
Event in history. It is also A CELEBRATION OUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE CHURCH OF
CHRIST, for we have lived Pentecost and we have received "...the Seal of
the Gift of the Holy Spirit..." during the Holy Mystery of Baptism and
Chrismation.
For the Feast of Pentecost the Icon of the Holy Trinity, the three Angelic
Beings who appeared to Abraham, is placed in the centre of the Soleas
for veneration, and is presented together with the traditional Pentecost
Icon.
The church is decorated with flowers and green leaves to show that GOD'S
DIVINE BREATH COMES TO RENEW ALL CREATION. Green Vestments and
coverings are also used.
In many Parishes the Feast is celebrated the evening before with the Holy
Service of Great Vespers, followed by Matins and Divine Liturgy on
Pentecost Sunday Morning.
The Liturgy of St John Chrysostom has Festal Hymns that replace the
standard verses of the Antiphons.
The Hymns O Heavenly King... and We have seen the True Light ...are
sung for the first time since Pascha, calling the Holy Spirit to "...come
and abide in us," and proclaiming that "...we have received the
Heavenly Spirit."
An extraordinary Service called the Kneeling Vespers is observed on the
evenig of Pentecost - to which are added three sets of long poetical
Prayers, composed by St Basil the Great, during which everyone makes
a full Prostration, touching their foreheads to the floor (Prostrations in
Church having been forbidden from the day of Great and Holy Pascha
up to this point).
In many Parishes, however, THE KNEELING VESPERS IS DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
DIVINE LITURGY OF PENTECOST.
THE FEAST OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CELEBRATED ON MONDAY AFTER PENTECOST SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST IS THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS.
THE FAST OF THE APOSTLES BEGINS ON MONDAY AFTER ALL SAINTS SUNDAY AND
CONTINUES UNTIL 29 JUNE, the Feast of the Apostles, St Peter and St Paul.
The length of this Fast depends on the date of Holy Pascha.
Even though the start of the Liturgical Year begins on 1(or14) September,
the Liturgical centre of the annual cycle of Orthodox Worship is the
Great Feast of Pascha, preceded by Great Lent and Pre-Lent.
These are followed by the fifty days of Pascha, which ends with the Great
Feast of Pentecost.
Until the start of the next Great Lent, THE SUNDAYS AND WEEKS FOLLOWING
PENTECOST, ARE NUMBERED FROM PENTECOST SUNDAY.
Liturgical Readings and Hymns are based on the weeks After Pentecost"
as listed in THE OCTOECHOS (the Eight Tones) THE APOSTOLOS (the Epistles)
and the Lectionary arranged HOLY GOSPEL.
http://orthodoxwiki.org/Pentecost
Kindly use the Matins Service Book up to this point

and then carefully pay attention to the instructions and
apply these Hymns & Readings where required.

the Tongues have become

apparent, as a Sign for all. The Jews,
from whom Christ came in the Flesh,
were sick with unbelief and thus
they fell out of Divine Grace. We
who are from the Gentiles, have been
counted worthy of the Divine Light,
for we were Strengthened by the
Words of the Disciples, who declared
the Glory of God the Benefactor of
all. Let us join them, and bend our
hearts along with our knees, and
Strengthened by the Holy Spirit, let
us in Faith Worship Him, the Saviour

the Spirit, the Comforter, is

poured out on all flesh. It started
with the Host of the Apostles, and
from them It spread out the Grace to
Believer by participation. Its Mighty
Coming is confirmed by distributing
the Tongues in the form of Fire to
the Disciples, to extol and Glorify
God. So, now that our hearts are
noetically Illumined, and we are
Fortified in Faith by the Holy Spirit,
let us earnest pray for the Salvation
of our soul.
Do
not cast me away from Thy

Presence nor take Thy Holy Spirit
from me.
Now the Apostles of Christ are clothed

with Power from on High; for the
Comforter Renews them and is
Renewd in them, by a Mystical
Renewal of Knowledge.
And
preaching in those strange and
exalted words, they instruct us to
worship the Eternal and simple
Nature in three Hypostases of God
the Benefactor of all.
Therefore,
since we have been Illumined by
their Teachings, let us worship the
Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, and let us earnestly pray for
the Salvation of our soul.

On the last day, that Great Day of the

Feast, Jesus stood and cried out,
saying: "If anyone thirsts, let him
come to Me and drink. He who
believes in Me - as the Scripture has
said - out of his heart will flow
rivers of Living Water."
This He spoke concerning the Spirit,
Whom those Believing in Him would
receive, for the Holy Spirit was not
yet given, for Jesus was not yet
Glorified.
Many from the crowd, when they heard
this saying, said: Truly this is the
Prophet."
Others said: "This is the Christ."
But some said, "Will the Christ come out
of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said
that from the Seed of David and from
the town of Bethlehem, where David
was, the Christ will come?"
There was division amongst them
because of Him.
Some of them wanted to take Him, but
no one laid hands upon Him.
The Officers went to the Chief Priests
and Pharisees, who said to them:
"Why have you not brought Him?"
The officers answered: "No man ever
spoke like this Man!"
The Pharisees answered them: "Are you
also deceived? Have any believed in
Him of the Rulers of the Pharisees?

CONGREGATION
KNEEL
STANDING
AND
KNEELING
ON
SUNDAYS
As is evident from the Holy Scriptures, bows, kneeling and prostrations were
employed during Prayer even according to the Old Covenant.
The Holy Prophet, Psalmist and King, St David, referred to bowing down to God
or towards His Temple in many of the Psalms: "...Bow down to the Lord in
His Holy Court..." ( P S A L M 2 8 : 2 ) ; "...I shall bow down toward Thy Holy Temple
in Fear of Thee..." ( P S A L M 5 : 8 ) ; "...O come, let us worship and fall down
before Him..." ( P S A L M 9 4 : 6 ) ; "...Let us go forth into His Tabernacles, let us
bow down at the Place where His Feet have stood..." ( P S A L M 1 3 1 : 7 ) , etc.
The Holy Prophet, St Daniel, thrice daily "...knelt upon his knees, and prayed
and gave thanks before his God." ( D A N I E L 6 : 1 0 ) .
Full prostrations are also mentioned in the Books of the Old Testament: the Holy
Prophets, St Moses and St Aaron besought God, "...having fallen on their
faces..." ( N U M B E R S 1 6 : 2 2 ) , to be merciful to the Children of Israel who had
grievously sinned.
In the New Testament also, the custom of performing kneelings, prostrations
and, of course, bows had been preserved and still had a place at the time
of the Earthly Life of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Sanctified this Old Covenant
Tradition by His own Example, praying on bended knees and failing down
upon His Face.
Before His Passion, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ "...knelt down, and
prayed..." and He "...fell on the ground and prayed..." (MATTHEW 26:39 & MARK
14:35).
After our Lord Jesus Christs Ascension, during the time of His Holy Apostles, this
Holy Tradition of which Holy Scriptures also speak, existed unchanged.
The Holy Protomartyr and Archdeacon, St Stephen "...knelt down..." and prayed
for his enemies who were stoning him to death. ( A C T S 7 : 6 0 )
The Holy Apostle, St Peter, before raising St Tabitha from the dead, "...knelt
down, and prayed." ( A C T S 9 : 4 0 )
It is an indisputable fact that, as under the first successors of the Apostles, so
even in much later periods of the existence of the Church of Christ,
kneeling, bowing and prostrations upon the ground were always employed
by True Believers in their private Prayers and at the Divine Services. Besides
other bodily activities, kneeling was considered the outward manifestation
of humble Prayer, whch was most pleasing to God. Thus, St Ambrose of
Milan said: "...Beyond the rest of the Ascetic Labours, kneeling has the
power to assuage the Wrath of God and to evoke His Mercy" ( B O O K V I O N
THE
SIX DAYS
OF
CREATION,
CH.
9).
The Canons of the Orthodox Christian Church concerning bowing and

kneeling are set forth in the Books of the Divine Services, and particularly in
the Church Typicon, and are strictly observed in Monasteries.
However, in general, zealous Orthodox Christians are, of course, permitted to
pray on their knees in Church and to make full Prostrations whenever they
wish, except when the Holy Gospel, the Epistle, the Old Testament
Prophecies, the Six Psalms and the Sermon are read.
The Holy Church lovingly regards such people, and does not constrain their
sincere devotion to God.
Nevertheless, the exceptions with regard to Sundays and the days between
Pascha and Pentecost apply generally to everyone.
According to Ancient Holy Tradition and a clear Church Law, kneeling is
forbidden on these Festal days of Holy Pascha ( I . E . T H E D A Y S O N W H I C H T H E

The brilliant solemnity of the Events that the Holy Church commemorates
throughout the period of Pentecost and on Sundays precludes, in and of
itself, any external manifestation of sorrow or lamentation over one's sins:
for ever since Jesus Christ, "...blotting out the handwriting of the
ordinances that was against us, ... nailing it to His Cross; and having
spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly,
triumphing over them in it..." ever since then "...there is, therefore, no
condemnation to them who are in Jesus Christ." ( C O L O S S I A N S 2 : 1 4 - 1 5 &
ROMANS 8:1)
For this reason, the practice was observed in the Holy Church from the earliest
times -beyond a doubt handed down by the Apostles - whereby on all these
days, due to being Consecrated to the Commemoration of the Glorious
Victory of Jesus Christ over sin and Death, it was required to perform the
public Divine Service brightly and with solemnity, and in particular without
kneeling, which is a Sign of Repentant Grief for one's sins.
Tertullian testified: "...On the Lord's Day (i.e. Sunday) we consider it improper
to Fast or to kneel; and we also enjoy this freedom from Pascha until
Pentecost." ( O N T H E C R O W N , C H . 3 )
St Peter of Alexandria ( 3 R D C E N T U R Y C F . H I S C A N O N X V I N T H E R U D D E R ) , and the
Apostolic Constitutions ( B O O K I I , C H . 5 9 ) also declare the same thing.
Subsequently, the First Ecumenical Council found it necessary to make this
legally binding by a special Canon obligatory for the entire Church:
"...Since there are some people who kneel in Church on Sundays and on
the days of Pentecost, with a view to preserving uniformity in all Parishes,
it has seemed best to the Holy Council for Prayers to be offered to God
while standing." ( C A N O N X X ) .
Pointing out this Canon, St Basil the Great explained the rationale and meaning
of the practice: "We stand up when praying on the first of the week,
although not all of us know the reason. For it is not only that it serves to
remind us that when we have Risen from the dead together with Christ,
but that we ought to seek the Things Above, in the Day of Resurrection of
the Grace given us, by standing at Prayer, but that it also seems to serve
in a way as a picture of the Expected Age.
Wherefore, being also the starting point of days, although not the first with
Moses, yet it has been called the first. For it says: The evening and the
morning were the first day ( G E N E S I S 1 : 5 ) , on the ground that it returns
again and again.
The eighth, therefore, is also the first, especially as respects that really first
and true Eighth Day, which the Psalmist too has mentioned in some of the
superscriptions of his Psalms, serving to exhibit the state which is to
succeed this period of time, the Unceasing Day, the Day without a night
that follows, the Day without successor, the Never-ending and Unaging
Age.
Of necessity, therefore, the Church teaches Her Children to fulfill their
obligations to pray therein while standing up, in order by constantly
reminding them of the Deathless Life to prevent them from neglecting the
Provisions for the Journey thither.
And every Pentecost is a reminder of the expected Resurrection in the Age to
come.
For that one First Day, being multiplied seven times over, constitutes the
seven weeks of the Holy Pentecost.
For by starting from the first day of the week, one arrives on the same day
The Laws of the Church have taught us to prefer the upright posture at
Prayer, thus transporting our mind, so to speak, as a result of a vivid and
clear suggestions, from the present age to the things come in the future.
And during each kneeling and standing up again we are in fact showing by
our actions that is was through sin that we fell to Earth, and that through
the Kindness of the One Who created us we have been called back to
Heaven" ( C A N O N X C I O F S T . B A S I L T H E G R E A T ) .
The three well-known Kneeling Prayers of Pentecost composed by this Great
Holy Church Father are thus not read at Third Hour, when the Holy Spirit
descended upon the Apostles, nor at Divine Liturgy on Pentecost Sunday,
but at Vespers, which is already part of the following day, after the
Entrance.
St Basil was determined not to break the ancient Holy Tradition of the Church.
Canon XC of the Council of Trullo, held in conjunction with the Sixth
Ecumenical Council, states: "...We have received it Canonical from our
God-bearing Fathers not to bend the knee on Sundays when honouring
the Resurrection of Christ.
Since this observation may not be clear to some of us, we are making it
plain to the Faithful, that after the Entrance of those in Holy Orders into
the Sacrificial Altar on the evening of the Saturday in question, let none of
them bend the knee until the evening of the following Sunday, when,
following the Entrance after the lamps have been lit, again bending
knees, we thus begin to offer our Prayers to the Lord.
For, inasmuch as we have received it that the night succeeding Saturday
was the precursor of our Saviours Rising, we commence our Hymns at this
point in a Spiritual Manner, ending the Festival by passing out of
Darkness into Light, in order that we may hence celebrate the
Resurrection together for a whole day and a whole night."
John Zonaras, explained the Canon: "Various Canons have made it a Law not
to kneel on Sundays or during the Fifty Days of Pentecost, and Basil the
Great also supplied the reasons for which this was forbidden.
This Canon decrees only with regard to Sunday, clearly indicates from what
Hour and until Hour to kneel, and says: On Saturday, after the Entrance of
the Celebrants into the Altar at Vespers, no one may bend the knee until
Vespers on Sunday itself, when, again, the Entrance of the Celebrants
takes place: for we do not transgress by bending the knee and praying in
such a manner from that time on.
For Saturday night is considered the night of the Day of Resurrection, which,
according to the words of this Canon, we must pass in the chanting of
Psalms, carrying the Feast over from Darkness to Light, and in such
manner celebrate the Resurrection for the entire night and day" ( B O O K O F
THE
CANONS WITH INTERPRETATIONS,
P.
729).
The Church Typicon instructs how the Priest must approach and kiss the Holy
Gospel after reading it during the All-Night Vigil for the Resurrection: "...Do
not make Prostrations to the ground, but small bows, until the hand
touches the ground. For on Sunday and Feasts of the Lord and during the
entire Fifty Days between Pascha and Pentecost the knee is not bent."
(TYPICON,
CH.
2).
Nevertheless, standing at the Divine Services on Sunday and on the days

between Pascha and Pentecost was the privilege of those who were in full
Communion with the Church; but the so-called "Penitents" were not
dispensed from kneeling even on those days.
Theodore Balsamon, Patriarch of Antioch cautioned us: "Preserve the
Canonical Decrees, whereever and however they should be phrased; and
say not that there are contradictions among them, for the All-holy Spirit
has worded them all." ( I N T E R P R E T A T I O N O F C A N O N X C O F T H E C O U N C I L O F T R U L L O ) .
