Dear Joe, Never mind, I was just being rambunctious since I am so giddy about our new home purchase. I see that I shouldn't mess with you since you would easily turn my other cheek - several times  Back to the Scriptures, Friend, and "blessed is he who takes no offense at me!" Alex

"I see that I shouldn't mess with you since you would easily turn my other cheek - several times."
Are you offended because I suggested that the icon's darkness was caused by candles burning? I'm sorry if this offended you.
Joe

Dear Joe, You know me, Friend in Christ! I always get my nose out of joint when anyone doesn't agree with me 100%! It's one of those ethnic things, you know! Forgive me, and I'll stay out of your hair . . . God bless, Alex

Getting back to our passage, I forgot to include a blurb about the Ikos at Matins for the feast of the Theophany:
"As the prophet [guess who?] foretold, a great Light, Christ, has shone upon Galilee of the Gentiles, upon the land of Zabulon, and the land of Naphtali. A people living in darkness have seen a great light shining from Bethlehem. The Sun of Righteousness, the Lord born of Mary, casts his rays upon all those who dwell on earth. Come then, O naked children of Adam, and let us clothe ourselves in Him that we may warm ourselves. For the Light that no one can approach, the One who is a protection and a mantle for the naked, the Light to those in darkness, has appeared and revealed himself today."
Our liturgical hymns can serve as a theology primer. It is becoming difficult for me to believe an iota of the idea that the authors of our hymns were adding traditions of men to the faith. One can begin to get a sense of the biblical mind at work. Handing down the faith (Tradition) is not simply something that stopped at the New Testament, but rather something that continued on after Pentecost. Our Church does Bible in such biblical ways!
