The Liturgy of covenant Thursday
This is the shortest liturgy in the year since it
excludes the following
1 The response to the procession of the Lamb
(since Christs redemptive death did not yet
occur during covenant Thursday, thus the hymn
this is the day that the Lord has made is not
chanted)
2 Also the response hymn that is chanted before
the absolution sothees amen is not chanted
3 The Catholic epistle and the Praxis (Acts of
the apostles) are also not read since Christ had
not yet commanded his disciples to preach to the
four corners of the earth

4 There is no apostolic kiss during the
procession of incense due to the symbolism to
Judas kiss
5 The prayer of reconciliation is not prayed
because the crucifixion had not yet occurred.
Also, there should be no greetings (by kissing).
6 The commemoration of the Saints is not prayed
because Paradise had not been opened yet and
mercy had not been bestowed on mankind
7 Also the Diptych (mentioning the names of the
departed persons) is not prayed since the souls
of those departed before Christs crucifixion
were entrapped in Hades. Also communion must take
place during the ninth hour so we do not share
the Jews in commemorating their feast which took
lace after sunset.
In this liturgy we read a special prayer
("fraction") remembering Abraham and Isaac, Isaac
being the symbol of Christ.

washing the disciples feet
The Lord gives His Body and Blood to the disciples
The Lord said to His disciples during this act
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well,
for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one
anothers feet. (John 1313-14) Here washing
refers to baptism, and the washing of feet
symbolizes repentance through confession. This is
the purity that is referred to as a continuous
second baptism.

The Prophecy of the ninth hour of Great Thursday
of the Holy Pascha Genesis 1 19 22
13
The Offering1 And it came to pass after these
things, that God tested Abraham, and said to
him, Abraham and he said, here I am.2 Then He
said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac,
whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and
offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the
mountains of which I shall tell you.3 So Abraham
rose early in the morning, and saddled his
donkey, and took two of his young men with him,
and Isaac his son, and he split the wood for the
burnt offering, and arose and went unto the
place of which God had told him.4 Then on the
third day Abraham lifted his eyes, and saw the
place afar off.5 And Abraham said to his young
men, Stay here with the donkey the lad and I
will go yonder and worship, and we will come back
to you.6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt
offering, and laid it on Isaac his son and he
took the fire in his hand, and a knife and the
two of them went together.7 But Isaac spoke to
Abraham his father, and said, My father And he
said, Here I am, my son. Then he said, Look the
fire and the wood but where is the lamb for a
burnt offering?
14
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide for
Himself a lamb for a burnt offering so the two
of them went together.9 Then they came to the
place of which God had told him. And Abraham
built an altar there, and placed the wood in
order, and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him
on the altar upon the wood.10 And Abraham
stretched out his hand, and took the knife to
slay his son.11 But the angel of the LORD called
to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham
So he said, Here am I.12 And He said, Do not
Lay your hand on the lad, or do any thing to him
for now I know that you fear God, since you have
not withheld your son, your only son from Me.
15
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes, and looked, and
there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by
its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and
offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his
son. 14 And Abraham called the name of that
place The Lord- Will-Provide as it is said to
this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be
provided.15 Then the angel of the LORD called to
Abraham a second time out of heaven,16 And
said, By myself I have sworn, the LORD, because
you have done this thing, and have not withheld
your son, your only son. 17 blessing I will
bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your
descendants as the stars of the heaven, and as
the sand which is on the seashore and your
descendants shall possess the gate of their
enemies18 In your seed all the nations of the
earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed
My voice.19 So Abraham returned to his young
men, and they rose and went together to Be-er-she
ba and Abraham dwelt at Be-er-she-ba.
