The Glorious Mysterious for Unity

The icon of the Resurrection - Anastatis - contains many symbols. Background of gold is eternity the white colour is the symbol for purity and the glory of the Resurrection. The green fields are symbols of the Reign of Heaven. The Rocky Mountains are the signs of Holy Spirit who embrace the universe. To the right of Christ stand King David, King Salomon, and the prophet Elijah. To the left stand the Just. Jesus grasps Adam and Eve by the arm out from the tomb of dead as they are the symbols of all humanity destroyed by sin.

ONE CHRISTIAN EASTER



Paschal meaning is liberation from slav-ery “Easter “ is a reminder of the Hebrew word Pesach , meaning mercy or passing. The people of Israel escaped from the De-stroyer, the one who killed all the firstborn in Egypt. The Jewish Passover rest on this original .

The Julian and Gregorian calendarFor over 400 years, Eastern and Western Church has had different calendars, the Ju-lian respectively . Gregorian calendar. This shatters the Easter celebrations . The year 2015 celebrates the West Church Easter on April 5. Eastern Church begins Easter on April 12. Jew Passover begins April 4, 2015When we in the West are celebrating Christ’s Resurrection is the Eastern Church in Passion Week. The consequence is it un-reasonable to two different Easter celebra-tions are in the same city worldwide. Jesus Christ must drink the chalice twice.In 2008, the difference between Eastern and Western Church five weeks. In 2007, coinciding the . In 2006, celebrated the Or-

thodox Church Easter one week later than the Western Church. Local initiatives have, however, been made to bridge . Lay people in Damascus has been a Catholic and Or-thodox church to celebrate a common Eas-ter since 2005.The Orthodox Church still calculates their weekends according to the Julian calendar, and this is echoed in some of the countries that have been or are orthodox dominated. Julius Caesar completed year 45 BC, a cal-endar reform in the Roman Empire that was based on that one year is 365.25 days. It was decided that every fourth year is a leap year with 366 days . This calendar was in the early Church both East and West.The Council of Nicaea 325In 325 was held a synod in Nicaea, which, among other things decided that Easter Sunday will fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equi-nox.The Nicene Easter formula meant interpre-tations of what is the starting point for a correct calculation of the Easter date. It is based on the sun’s movement ( spring equi-nox ) with the lunar motion ( first full moon ) and the week ( the first Sunday ) , three calendrical elements that have no connec-tion with each other. Here differ east and west from each other with different dates for the spring equinox.

as much as ten days, which was noticeable to everyone. The timing ruled farms time of sowing .After an extensive investigation Pope Greg-ory XIII decided on a major calendar re-form implemented in the Catholic part of the world in 1582 , which became the Gre-gorian calendar. This year underscored simply 10 days from the calendar to October 15 followed direct-ly on October 4. This reform takes place in the time when the Protestant Reformation spread across Europe.Church split East and West 1054, Reforma-tion of 1517 and calendar reform in 1582 depicts a threefold division, which affected the entire Christian development. The schism between the World Council of Churches (WCC)Various proposals have been brought into the modern era for a common Easter date for all Christian churches but they do not unanimously accepted. The Catholic Church has once again proposed a general date , the second Sunday in April. Cardinal Kasper, the prefect of the pontifical coun-cil for Christian unity, has highlighted this issue to unite Christendom for a common Easter. Also to celebrate the Passover ac-cording to the Eastern Church has been expressed.The difficulties in finding a solution has been longstanding debate about the astro-nomical and mathematical correct Easter time and how the Easter date is entitled to be calculated instead of arriving at a common statement in time. One way is the select the Ortodox Easter because of the orgin time. Without this device remains the Christian church split into East and West. Therefore, it is of such importance.Most Orthodox churches are members, as

there are many Protestant churches in the WCC . The Catholic Church is not a mem-ber but sends representatives to the organi-zation’s meetings.World Council of Churches is an interna-tional ecumenical bodies with over 340 member organizations (churches , reli-gious communities and ecumenical coop-eration body ) from over a hundred coun-tries and with about 400 million members. The World Council was formed in 1948.

The Church Unity and Christianty In John 17:21 is one of the most central messages of God’s Oness and Christianity in Jesus’ words to the disciples.

That they all may be one; as thou, Fa-ther, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:21

How much joy would not the Father in heaven see when the Passover and the Church became one. We obey God!. So, we read how Paul suffers for the church in car-rying out its mission. In Colossians 1:24 we read:

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: Colossians 1:24



St. Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II traveled to the vari-ous ecclesiastical families in order to

bring peace and the renewal of the Church. The picture above is from a meeting with Patriarch Teoctis in Romania in 1999.

Pope carried a vision of the Church in the East and West as two lungs ehich breath-ing together in one body with two hands to-gether in a prayer. The birth of True Church in the beginning.Former Pope Benedict XVI has continued mission of unity and forgiveness since his papacy began in 2005. A dynamic dialogue began. There is hope for us to tear down walls.

What is unity?

A living unit is indivisible into smaller parts without perishing.

As a living cell with a mission to sup-port the body. In the middle is the the cell nucleus for renewal.

Our physical body is a unit of life pro-cesses and the minds. The community itself is a social unit for the common good and wellfaire.. The nature of the planet is an unit.The Church’s unity with Christ as the head of the miraculous body.

Trinity God is the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who is in three divine persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Acorrding to the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

John 14:10-11

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words

that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in

me, he doeth the works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for

the very works’ sake.



The Easter miracle in Jerusalem return again the 19 April 2014. At the same time it´s a common Easter for the whole world. There is a spontaneous light, a shimmering light, which turns into a flame out of the Jesu´s tomb. Wax candles are lited to the crowd who then are spread by cars and aireplanes all over the East. A fire that did not consume.

The Orthodox Easter - Easter miracle in Jerusalem

The Miracle of the Holy Fire” by Christians from the Orthodox

Churches is known as “The greatest of all Christian miracles”. It takes place every single year, on the same time, in the same manner, and on the same spot. No other miracle is known to occur so regularly and for such an extensive period of time; one can read about it in sources as old

as from the eighth Century AD. The mir-acle happens in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, to millions of believers the holiest place on earth. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre itself is an enigmatic place. Theologians, historians and archaeologists consider the church to contain both Golgatha, the little hill on which Jesus Christ was crucified, as well as the “new tomb” close to Golgatha that received his dead body, as one reads in the Gospels. It is on this same spot that Christians believe he rose from the dead.

Holy Sepulcher or Revelation Church of the Holy Sepulcher was built by Constan-tine the Great in the mid 300’s. It has been destroyed several times through the cen-turies, and it was the Crusaders who gave the church the appearance it has today.


Vadstena Peace LetterAround the tomb itself, today there is a small chapel with two rooms - an ante-chamber and the burial chapel, where there is room for more than four people at once. Like a Russian doll, then, there the great basilica that surround the small tomb in the chapel, which in turn encloses itself the flat headstone that distinguishes Jesus’ death camps. It is the little chapel that on Easter Eve stands in the center.

One of the Most Famous Ceremo-nies in the Orthodox Church

The miracle occurs every year on the Or-thodox Easter Saturday. There are many types of Orthodox Christians: Syrian, Armenian, Russian and Greek Ortho-dox as well as Copts. In the Holy Sepul-chre Church alone there are 7 different Christian Denominations. The Orthodox Easter-date is fixed according to the Ju-lian Calendar, and not the usual Western European Gregorian calendar, which means that their Easter normally falls on a different date than the Protestant and Catholic Easter.

Pilgrims come from all over the world, the majority from Greece but in recent years increasing numbers from Russia and the former Eastern European Coun-tries.

First light miracle occurred in year 126 A.C. Next recognized is the Passover in 1192

The English historian Gautier Vinisauf is worthy of special attention. He tells an interesting detail in connection with the feast of 1192.

In 1187 had the Saracens took Jerusalem,

led by Sultan Salah ad-Din . 1192 request-ed the Sultan to attend the festivities, even though he was not a Christian. Gautier Vinisauf tells what happened at the time: “ After his arrival descended the heavenly light suddenly , and the con-gregation was deeply moved.

The Christians showed their delight by praising the greatness of God , whereas the Saracens believed that the fire, which they had seen come down, come about through cheating. Salah ad-Din wanted to expose the fraud and let the light go out, as the fire from the sky had lit. But the lamp blazed up immediately again. He put it out again, and finally a third time, but it was lit by itself again. Then cried the astonished Sultan in prophesied: ‘Alas, soon I may die or lose Jerusa-lem ! ‘

This prophecy came true, for Salah ad-Din died in Lent the following year. “

An ecumenical ceremony

There are many different branches of Orthodox Christianity, and the ceremony of the Holy Sepulchre participate Syriac, Armenian, Russian and s church, but at a date other than the orthodox , and therefore they are not present at the cer-emony.

The date of the Orthodox Easter is de-termined namely according to the Julian calendar, and not according to the com-mon, western ecclesiastical Gregorian calendar. This means that the Orthodox Easter usually does not coincide with the Protestant and Catholic .



The great schism in 1054, mainly for political reasons.

The East–West Schism is the medieval division of Chalcedonian Christianity into Eastern (Greek) and Western (Latin) branches, which later became commonly known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, respec-tively. The East–West Schism is one of the two schisms to which the term “Great Schism”. The new calender is “a Chris-tian Berliner wall” threating the whole Cristianity and our future according our Heavenly messages in our time.

An approach has been made in our time by John Paul II and then Pope Benedict XVI. The new Russian Orthodox Patri-arch Kirill is considered to have a signifi-cant impact on development .

Despite the schism continued, however, the united celebration of the light the miracle. According to the Russian abbot Daniils description from the 1100s shows the service traces of both Orthodox and Catholic elements.

Light Miracles ceremony had a such strong appeal that both churches come together to celebrate, even though in all other aspects they had no communica-ton.

The miracle takes place on Easter Saturday.

On that day, the church is filled with peo-ple. If you want a chance to get into the church, you have to expect to wait in line for five-six hours. And there are almost as many people outside the church, for it is already n over crowded. Pilgrims come from all over the world - mostly from

Greece, but in recent years more and more from Russia and Eastern Europe. Pilgrims equipped with folding chairs have defied fatigue and sat and watched all night in the vicinity of the chapel, to prepare themselves in prayer and to be so close to the burial chapel as possible.

Festival

From around 11:00 AM till 1:00 PM the Christian Arabs sing traditional songs with loud voices. These songs date back to the Turkish occupation of Jerusalem in the 13th Century, a period in which the Christians were not allowed to sing their songs anywhere but in the Churches.

“We are the Christians, this we have been for centuries and this we shall be for ever and ever. Amen!”

They sing at the top of their voices ac-companied by the sound of drums. The drum-players sit on the shoulders of oth-ers who ferociously dance around the Sepulchre Chapel.

But at 1:00 PM the songs fade out and after there is silence, a tense and loaded silence electrified by the anticipation of the great manifestation of the Power of God that all are about to witness.

At 1:00 PM a delegation of the local au-thorities elbows through the crowds. Even though these officials are not Christian, they are part of the ceremonies. In the times of the Turkish occupation of Pales-tine they were Moslem Turks; today they are Israelis. For centuries the presence of these officials has been an integrated part of the ceremony. Their function is to rep-resent the Romans in the time of Jesus. The Gospels speak of Romans that went


Vadstena Peace Letterto seal the tomb of Jesus, so his disciples would not steal his body and claim he had risen.

In the same way the Israeli authorities on this Easter Saturday come and seal the tomb with wax. Before they seal the door it is customary that they enter the tomb to check for any hidden source of fire, which could produce the miracle through fraud. Just as the Romans were to guarantee that there was no manipulation after the death of Jesus, likewise the Israeli Local Authorities are to guarantee that there be no trickery in 1998.

The Testimony of the Patriarch Dia-doros oh Jerusalem

When the tomb has been checked and sealed, the whole Church chants the Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy).

At 1:45 PM the Patriarch enters the scene. In the wake of a large procession he en-circles the Tomb three times, whereup-on he is stripped of his royal liturgical vestments, carrying only his white alba, a sign of humility in front of the great potent of God, to which he is about to be the key witness. All the oil lamps have been blown out the preceding night, and now all remains of artificial light are ex-tinguished, so that most of the Church is enveloped in darkness.

With two big candles the patriarch enters the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre — first into the small room in front of the tomb and from there into the tomb itself.

It is not possible to follow the events in-side the tomb, so I asked the patriarch of Jerusalem, Diodorus, about the center of the events.

Patriarch of Jerusalem, Diodorus has reveald the Holy the events.

“I enter the tomb and kneel in holy fear in front of the place where Christ lay after his death and where he rose again from the dead. Praying in the Holy Sepulchre in itself is for me al-ways a very holy moment in a very holy place.

It is from here that he rose again in glory, and it is from there that he spread his light to the world. John the Evangelist writes in the first chapter of his gospel that Jesus is the light of the World.

Kneeling in front of the place where he rose from the dead, we are brought within the immediate closeness of his glorious resurrection. Catholics and Protestants call this Church “The Church of the Holy Sepulchre”.

The Resurrection of Christ for us Or-thodox is the center of our faith. In his resurrection Christ has gained the fi-nal victory over death, not just his own death but the death of all those who will stay close to him.

“I believe it to be no coincidence that the Holy Fire comes on exactly this spot. In Matthew 28:3, it says that when Christ rose from the dead, an an-gel came, dressed all in a fearful light. I believe that the striking light that en-veloped the angel at the Lord’s resur-rection is the same light that appears miraculously every Easter Saturday. Christ wants to remind us that his res-urrection is a reality and not just a myth; he really came to the world in order to give the necessary sacrifice



through his death and resurrection so that man could be re-united with his cre-ator.

Blue Light

From the core of the very stone on which Jesus lay an indefinable light pours forth. It usually has a blue tint, but the color may change and take many different hues. It cannot be described in human terms. The light rises out of the stone as mist may rise out of a lake — it almost looks as if the stone is covered by a moist cloud, but it is light. This light each year behaves differently. Sometimes it cov-ers just the stone, while other times it gives light to the whole sepulchre, so that people who stand outside the tomb and look into it will see it filled with light. The light does not burn — I have never had my beard burnt in all the sixteen years I have been Patriarch in Jerusalem and have received the Holy Fire. The light is of a different consistency than normal fire that burns in an oil lamp.

“At a certain point the light rises and forms a column in which the fire is of a different nature, so that I am able to light my candles from it. When I thus have re-ceived the flame on my candles, I go out and give the fire first to the Armenian Pa-triarch and then to the Coptic. Hereafter I give the flame to all people present in the Church.”

The Symbolic Meaning of the Mir-acle

The patriarch of Jerusalem, Diodorus says:

“The miracle touches me just as deeply every single year. Every time it is an-

other step towards conversion for me. For me personally it is of great comfort to consider Christ’s faithfulness towards us, which he displays by giving us the holy flame every year in spite of our hu-man frailties and failures. We experience many wonders in our Churches, and mir-acles are nothing strange to us. It hap-pens often that icons cry, when Heaven wants to display its closeness to us; also we have saints, to whom God gives many spiritual gifts. But none of these miracles have such a penetrating and symbolic meaning for us as the miracle of the Holy Fire. The miracle is almost like a sacra-ment. It makes the resurrection of Christ present to us as if he had died only a few years ago.”

“The miracle touches me just as deeply The miracle is almost like a sacrament. It makes the resurrection of Christ present to us as if he had died only a few years ago.”

When the Patriarch comes out with the two candles lit and shinning brightly in the darkness, a roar of jubilee resounds in the Church, comparable only to a goal at a soccer-match.

No consuming fire

It is no ordinary fire devouring. It burns no hands or beard. Then the patriarch out kyrakn and light the candles for all pend-ing and pilgrims. Where it grows into a sea of candle flames in a cheering crowd. The light is then spread on with flights to other Orthodox countries.

Unknown in the West

One can ask the question why the Mir-acle of the Holy Fire is hardly known in


Vadstena Peace LetterWestern Europe. In the Protestant areas it may to a certain extent be explained by the fact that there is no real tradition for miracles; people don’t really know in which box to place the miracles, and they don’t take up much space in newspapers. But in the Catholic tradition there is vast interest for miracles. Thus, why is it not more known?

For this it only one explanation suf-fices: Church politics. Only the Or-thodox Churches attend the cer-emony framing the miracle. A sign for truth, trust och joy

Light miracle should be perceived as a source of faith och joy and the way to a

reunion. God gave us the Church to each one. It is the same God for all Christian families. He is risen for us all.

The greeting words comes from the Angel Gabriel and Elisabeth to give birth to John the Baptist.

The Rosary is a prayer for protection.A prayer for help as from a friend. A prayer around the gospel and Christ’s mysteries on earth to redeem us. A prayer to the devotion of the Mother of God .The origin is the rosary with ambers as bullets. The Swedish word “Rosenkrans” is a corrup-tion of ravband, which is orgin since 1668. “Rav” means amber in Old Norse - a material that was common in the orgin rosaries. They be-came later consits of beads and pearls

Rosary serves as a kind of memory. Each bead represents a prayer and all fifty small beads summarizes a series of events in Jesus’ and Mary’s life ( = the whole gospel synthesis) Would the people around the world pray the Rosary , the earth would be released from evil powers.

Hail Holy Queen - Salve Regina

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor bashed chil-dren of eve to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gra-cious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this—our exile— show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O element, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
