SUNDAY OF THE TRIUMPH OF ORTHODOXY

Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy is celebrated on the First Sunday of Great
Lent.
It is the joyous Commemoration of the Victory of the Iconodules over the
Iconoclasts by the confirmed decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
The Hymns of Vespers, Matins and the Divine Liturgy pay tribute to the rightful
restoration of Orthodox Icons as being essential to the worship and Devotional
Life of all Faithful Christians.
To remind us of the great significance of the restoration of Holy Icons as an
essential part of our Orthodox Worship of God and veneration of His Holy Saints
and Heavenly Hosts, the Clergy and the Faithful process around the church
holding a variety of Holy Icons.
The Procession is halted every so often while certain Hymns are chanted and the
Priest pronounces the Anathemas against the enemies of Divine Truth.
Each Sunday of Great Lent has its own special historical and Spiritual Theme and
this period was especially significant for Catechumens who were preparing
for their Holy Baptism and thus, Entry into the Holy Church of Christ.
The theme of Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy concerns the great Victory of
the True Faith the Divine Truth of Almighty God, which is ... the Victory that
overcomes the world... (1 JOHN 5 : 4)
Furthermore, the Icons of our Saviour and His Holy Saints bear witness to the
Divine Truth that we are ... created in the Image and Likeness of God.
(GENESIS 1:26)

We become Sanctified and Restored to our original God-Likeness through our

constant Spiritual Struggles, Fasting and Purification (Repentance-Confession
and Holy Eucharist) as Gods living Image.
The connection of the great Victory over the heretical iconoclasm with Lent is
purely historical because the first Triumph of Orthodoxy occurred on this
particular First Sunday of Great Lent.
The First Sunday of Great Lent originally commemorated the Holy Prophets of God
such as St Moses, St Aaron and St Samuel.
The Divine Liturgy Alleluia verses and Sacred Readings/Lessons that are
appointed for this day reflect this older purpose.
The Epistle of St Paul is a completion of his Epistle to the Hebrews 11: 24-26 & 11: 32
12: 2. The Catechumens of the early Church heard the Epistle concerning the
Old Covenant men who lived by their unwavering Faith in a Divine Promise,
the eventual Fulfilment of which they themselves did not live to witness.
After the Righteous Faithful of the Old Covenant were mentioned, St Paul wrote: ...
and all these, having obtained a Good Testimony through Faith, did not
receive the Promise God having provided Something better for us, that they
should not be made Perfect apart from us.
The Sacred Gospel Lesson is from the Holy Gospel according to St John the Divine
and Beloved Theologian, which ends with an explanation of the Something
better that is mentioned by St Paul. (JOHN 1 : 43 51),
Our Lord Jesus Christ told His Faithful Disciples and Apostles that they and we,
too - would ... see greater Things than these... (meaning His Great Divine
Miracles).
He continued: ... Truly, truly, I say to you: hereafter you shall see Heaven open,
and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man...
The Catechumens of the early Church and the Faithful Disciples of Christ past
and present, who were and are preparing for Holy Pascha will all eventually
see the inauguration of the New Age, which is the Fulfilment of all Divine
Promises, and the Glorious Manifestation of the Eternal Kingdom of God
through the Incarnation of Christ in His Holy Church.
