On this Holy and Great Monday, the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ begins. On this day, Holy Monday, Joseph the Righteous is interpreted as a type of Christ – a prefiguration of Christ – an icon of Christ – who typified in himself through his remarkable life – the betrayal, Passion, death and glorification of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are joined by Dr Anna Dimitriou who will share with us some thoughts on Joseph the Righteous. On this day, Holy Monday, we commemorate Christ’s encounter with the fig tree – which the Lord found adorned with leaves – but no bearing no fruit – on his return to Jersualem. On this day, Holy Monday, Mr Ulysses Coustas will also reflect on the divine Bridegroom of the Church.
