By glorifying You, Christ, we protest against the deeds ofthose who plotted and crucified You. We protest againstwhat the ungrateful human beings did to You, and see Yourtrue glory in the Cross You endured for our sake. By glorifyingYou in Your crucifixion, we have pride in the glory of theCross, taking it as a life and support for us in our ministry. Weeven sing with St. Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ; it isno longer I who live, but Christ lives in me “. (Gal. 2:20).With this beautiful hymn we glorify the Lord at the end of theprayers of the Good Friday, after He paid His blood a price forthe world's salvation, and began to reign on a tree. We sing toHim, “Your Throne, 0 God, is for ever and ever... " With thesame hymn, we also glorify Him on Tuesday of the Passionweek, the day on which He announced to the disciples the timeof His crucifixion, "You know that after two days is thePassover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to becrucified. " (Matt. 26:2). And with the same beautiful tune weglorify the Lord with another hymn ie. (Avchenon)*.We glorify You, Lord, in Your crucifixion not only in Yourmiracles...-------------------------* This hymn is part of (Ps. 55) usually sung with the same tune of "Yourthrone 0 God" on Wednesday night of the Passion Week.50
We follow our Lord Jesus Christ in the Crucifixion,whispering in His ear, "Thine is The Blessing" as the HolyBible says, " Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree. "(Gal. 3:13).For this reason, a criminal put to death in that way had to beburied on the same day and not remain all night hanged on thetree, lest he should defile the land, as the hanged is accursed byGod. (Dent. 21:22-23). And so the Lord took away the curseof the Law on our behalf and became accursed for our sake.But we know that He is holy, without sin, and the curse Hetook away was ours; the wages of our sins according to theLaw. (Dent. 28:27). He is not a sinner, certainly not, but Hetakes away the sins of others, of the whole world. Wetherefore, follow Him regretting for what we made Him carry,saying to Him from the depths of our hearts, "Thine is thePower, the Glory, the Blessing... Emmanuel our God andKing"...For this curse, they crucified Him outside the camp,- sothat He would not defile it, and we follow Him in HisPassion Week, as St. Paul said, "Accordingly, let us go forthto Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach" (Heb. 13:13).51
