Exodos

By Dimitrios Spyridon Chytiris

"What delight of life remains untouched by sadness? What glory has ever remained on earth unswerved? Everything is weaker than shadow, everything is more deceptive than dreams; a torque and everything is succeeded by death. But in the light of Thy face Christ, and the sweetness of Thy beauty, give peace to the one you elected to take from us, for Thou are a God who loves the man kind" Here the reader will come to know the original text of the Exodic Acolouthy (Funeral Service) that was written in the 7th century by Saint John of Damascus and it is still read until this day in the Eastern Church. The deep meanings of the hymns, the theology, the comfort and the hope of resurrection are the topics of this marvelous work, translated from ancient Greek into English for studying and for spiritual awakening.
