Archives of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem
Reference | JM-AEPI/VI/Δ/9 |
Title | Holy Codex of the Holy and Life-giving Sepulchre, where are written the calendar commemorations of the fathers hereby. In addition, liturgies and pontifical commemorations of the Christ-loving pilgrims arriving every year, celebrated with the presence of the entire ecclesiastical body on the dreadful Holy Golgotha and on the Holy and Life-giving Sepulchre to rejoice the souls of the Heavenly Kingdom. They are organized by months and the day of the month that they need to be performed according to those who ordered them, the brothers and the fathers of our holy Community as well as the most devout pilgrims who wrote them down. As for the one who neglects and leaves them unperformed he will answer to the awe-inspiring Judge on Judgment day. He is also bound by maledictions and patriarchal excommunications, for some of these are ordered by the departed and guarded with maledictions. Composed in June 1st 1819 when Mishael and Prokopios were Commissioners of Petra. |
