Holy Saturday
The great Moses mystically foreshadowed this day, when he said: God blessed the seventh day. This is the blessed Sabbath. This is the day of rest, on which the only-begotten Son of God rested from all His works. He kept the Sabbath in the flesh, through the dispensation of death. But on this day, He returned again through the resurrection. He has granted us eternal life, for He alone is good, the lover of man.

FATHER ALEX, INNA MOUSA - THE NAME IN ARABIC - IS SUNG IN THE 2ND PLAGAL TONE (I BELIEVE, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY)ON GREAT FRIDAY AND HOLY SATURDAY. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HOLY WEEK CHANTS, WHEN SUNG PROPERLY. SOME OF US LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THAT EVERY YEAR, I KNOW I DO. I HOPE THAT NEXT YEAR I/WE MAY HEAR IT IN THE CORRECT TUNE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SING IT AND NOT A CHANTER!
