Fr. Nikon of New Skete talks about two different perspectives on suffering, passion and crucifixion of Christ.
October 17, 2016, Katerini, Greece
Fr. Nikon:
"Therefore, for Western Christianity, suffering, passion, crucifixion of Christ, all have a primary role
in doctrine and salvation.
We emphasize the Resurrection. And our greatest holiday is Easter
and not Crucifixion.
Even in the Holy Week,
we, the Orthodox, sing: 'We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
Show us also Thy glorious resurrection.'"
