Holy Week: A Return to Creation

St Peters Orthodox Church

Today our Father in the Faith, His Eminence Metropolitan SABA, reminds us that in Holy Week we truly return to creation. In the Garden of Paradise, we were created in the image of God to grow in His likeness as we fellowshipped with Him and learned from Him. The finished work of Jesus Christ re-opened the gates of Paradise to us all. Through Him we may now ascend to our most true selves, that of the likeness of God. God became man so that man might become like God.
