      SYNOPSIS:We proclaim the resurrection every week in the scriptures read in matins on Sunday. The resurrection is also declared in a hidden way in the OT. On this Holy Saturday, after we have read the Gospel of Matthew in front of the tomb which proclaims the resurrection, let us see how three of the readings we have recently read from the OT proclaim it in a mystical and beautiful way, with examples including Abraham, Ezekiel, and the Sunamite woman.

      2 Kings 4:8-37
      2017
      SYNOPSIS:In the Holy Saturday Vespral Liturgy, among the OT lessons is the story of the resurrection of the son of the Shunamite woman, by Elisha. This is the Gospel! It describes the resurrection as much as anything in the NT, and also adds two important teachings. The cross is nothing without Christ. It is a symbol of victory only because Christ used it for His divine purpose. Otherwise, it is only simple wood. Also, the resurrection is nothing - it has no effect in our life unless, we like the Shunamite woman, always say: "As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee".

      SYNOPSIS:Homily directly after the Resurrectional Gospel of Holy Saturday, proclaimed before the tomb. We look at a few hymns from the Holy Saturday canon, which shows that the resurrection is happening now, in wounded people, and that Jesus Christ COMPLETELY identifies with these people - so to live in the resurrection - NOW- we must identify with Him.
