Thursday, May 2nd. Remembrance of the Great Passions of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Matins with the Reading of 12 Passion Gospels

On Thursday we remembered the Last Supper, during which the Lord established the sacrament of the Eucharist and washed the feet of his disciples, the betrayal of Judas and prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the evening, a service took place in our church. The priest and the congregation took turns going out into the middle of the church, as if into the Garden of Olives, and reading the twelve Passion Gospels.

В четверг мы вспоминали о Тайной вечери, во время котрой Господь установил таинство Евхаристии и омыл ноги своим ученикам, о предательстве Иуды и о молении в Гефсиманском саду. Вечером в нашем храме состоялась служба. Батюшка и прихожание по очереди выходили на середину храма, точно в Элеонский сад, и читали двенадцать Страстных Евангелий.
