20. PENTECOSTARION – MATLIT HYMNS – SUNDAY OF ST THOMAS

 Sunday of the Belief of St Thomas

Sunday after Holy Pascha – Antepascha or the Second Sunday of Holy

Pascha – is the Sunday of the Belief of St Thomas. Historically, this was the
day when the Newly Baptised Christians removed their white Baptism
Robes and entered once again our earthly life.
Today is referred to as ‘Antipascha’ which does not mean ‘opposed to
Pascha’ but rather ‘in place of Pascha.’
Beginning with this first Sunday After Pascha, the Church dedicates every
Sunday of the year to our Lord Jesus Christ’s Glorious Resurrection. In
fact, the word for Sunday in Russian is ‘Resurrection Day’ and in Greek,

St Nicholas Velimirovic
‘The Lord’s Day.’
So, every Sunday of the year in the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church is
dedicated to our Lord’s Resurrection, beginning with today, which is the
Eighth day of the Paschal celebration – the Last Day of Bright Week.
Liturgically, the Holy Church of Christ remembers St Thomas the Apostle of
Christ and our Resurrected Lord Jesus Who invited St Thomas to “... put Repentance without a complete transformation
your finger here – and see My Wrists1 – and put out your hand, and
place it in My Side. And do not be faithless, but believing.” is nothing more than a travesty before the Lord our God
And St Thomas – without touching our Lord - spontaneously responded with

all his Love for Christ: “My Lord and my God!” Thus our Saviour
comments: “You have believed because you have seen Me. Blessed We can never – nor should we ever try to - deceive God!
are those who have not seen, yet believe!”
As with all the Holy Paschal Services until the Feast of Ascension, the Paschal He shows His Great Mercy to those who sincerely Repent
Troparion is sung: “Hristos Anesti, ek nekron...” but harshly chastises those who do not Repent at all
The Epistle Readings are from St Luke’s Book of the Acts of the Apostles, which
relate how the first Christians lived in Communion with our Resurrected or who do so only partially and insincerely.

The Holy Gospel Readings are from the Holy Gospel According to St John the
Beloved Apostle, Theologian and Evangelist, which is considered as the Wound is very deep

and only God Himself can Heal us.
St Thomas was born in the Galileian city of Pansada and was a fisherman.
When he heard all the Good Tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ, he left
everything and followed Him.
According to Holy Scripture, St Thomas did not believe the reports of the
other Faithful Disciples and Apostles of Christ regarding His Glorious
Resurrection, for he always needed to establish the Truth of everything for
himself, which is why our Lord gave him the nickname “Didymos” – “the
Twin,” meaning that he was “double-minded” and had to examine
everything more than once before accepting it as Truth. Hence his
statement: "Unless I see in His Wrists the print of the nails, and put my
finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His Side, I will
not believe." (JOHN 20:25)
On the Eighth Day (symbolising Eternity) after the Resurrection, our
Resurrected Lord Jesus Christ appeared again to His Apostles – this time
specifically for the benefit of St Thomas, who had not been present on
previous occasions.

The Greek word for ‘hands’ and ‘wrists’ is the same. The Roman executioners nailed their
victims through the gap between the many bones of the wrists that then was able to
suspend the weight of the entire body, which added to the indescribable agony of
crucifixion and its slow asphyxiation.

[3] Consequently, the notion of St Thomas as wavering or pusillanimous in his
Faith can be further dispelled in light of his Evangelism, according to
which, he founded many Christian Communities and churches
throughout Palestine, Mesopotamia, Parthia, Ethiopia and, as far away
as India.
According to Holy Tradition, St Thomas eventually Baptized the three Magi
who had sought the New Born King by following the Mysterious,
Supernatural Star all the way from Persia to Bethlehem. (on horses, not
camels!)

St Paisios of Mount Athos

Trust in God is a continuous Mystical Prayer
that quietly draws the Powers of God –
whever and when they are required.
Preaching the Holy Gospel of Christ earned St Thomas a Martyr’s Death after
having converted the wife and son of the Prefect of an Indian city -
Meliapur (Melipur). The enraged pagan Prefect issued orders for the
arrest, imprisonment and torture of St Thomas who was Perfected after
being stabbed to death by five spears.
Various Holy Relics of St Thomas have been reverently preserved in India,
Hungary and on Mount Athos. Due to his Evangelism in Syria and Persia,
the Holy Apostle is highly regarded within the Eastern Orthodox Church of
Antioch, the Syriac Church of Antioch, and the Assyrian Church of the
East, which separated from the Eastern Orthodox Church during the
Nestorian schism.
The Christian Community in India is known as “ the St Thomas Christians”
since St Thomas was the Founder of their Church. However, a dispute
over the precise nature of this Evangelism, and whether or not St Thomas
personally ministered within India, resulted in a schism between the
Syriac Orthodox Church and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.
St Thomas should be considered as our good example and role model as
someone whose Faith might have wavered at one crucial moment, yet
through the Divine Grace of Christ, it beame an opportunity for the

And having said this, He breathed on
them, and said to them: “Receive the

of any, they are forgiven. If you
retain the sins of any, they are

Thomas – one of the Twelve, who was
called “the Twin” – was not with
them when Jesus came.
The other Disciples told him: “We have
seen our Lord!”
He said to them: “Unless I see in His
Wrists the imprint of the nails, and
place my finger in the marks of the
nails, and place my hand in His Side,
I will not believe!”
And eight days later, His Disciples were
again in the house, and Thomas was

The doors were shut, but Jesus came,
and stood amidst them, and said:
“Peace be with you!”
To Thomas He said: “Put your finger

Great is our Lord, and Great is His
Strength.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is Good;
sing unto His Name, for it is Good.
In those days, many Signs and Wonders
were done among the people by the
hands of the Apostles.
(And they were all together in
Solomon’s Portico.)
None of the rest dared join them, but
the people held them in high honour.
And more than ever Believers were
added to the Lord, multitudes both
of men and women.
They carried out the sick into the
streets, and laid them on beds and
pallets, so that as Peter came by, at
least his shadow might fall on some
of them.
The people also gathered from the
towns around Jerusalem, bringing
the sick and those afflicted with
unclean spirit, and they were all
Healed.
The High Priest rose up, and all who
were with him – that is, the party of
the Sadducees – and filled with
jealousy they arrested the Apostles
and put them in the common prison.
An Angel of the Lord at night opened
the prison doors and led them out,
saying: “Go and stand in the
Temple, and speak to the people all
the Words of this Life.”
On the evening of that day – the first
day of the week – the doors being
shut where the Disciples were for
fear of the Judeans, Jesus came and
stood among them, and said to
them: “Peace be with you!”
And when He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Side.
The Disciples were glad when they
beheld our Lord.
Jesus said to them again: “Peace be
with you! As the Father has sent

Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and flute.
Thomas, who was also called ‘the Twin,’
was not there when Thou appeared
to the Disciples, O Lord, and
therefore he did not believe that
Thou had Resurrected. So
emphatically he exclaimed to those
who had seen Thee: ‘Unless I put my
finger in His Side, and the Wounds
caused by the nails, I will not believe
that He indeed arose!’
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord.
O Thomas, according to Thy wish,
Christ said to Thee: ‘Put out Thy
hand, and know that I have Flesh
and Bones, and an earthly Body. Do
not be disbelieving but rather with
the others, believe.’ And Thou in
turn cried out: ‘Thou, O Jesus, art my
Lord and God, and my Saviour! ✞

Thy Body. Come and touch My
