Elder Iakovos said,People are blind
and don’t see what takes place in church during the Divine Liturgy. Once I was
serving and I couldn’t make the Great Entrance because of what I saw. I
suddenly felt someone pushing me by my shoulder and guiding me toward the holy
prothesis.
I thought it was the chanter, and said to
myself: “The blessed one, such irreverence? He entered through the Beautiful
Gate and is pushing me?”
I turned around and saw a huge wing
that the archangel had laid on my shoulder, and that he was guiding me to make
the Great Entrance.
What amazing things take place in the
altar during the Divine Liturgy! Sometimes I can’t handle it, and so I pass out
in a chair, and thus some concelebrators conclude that I’ve got something wrong
with my health, but they don’t realize what I see and hear. What wings on those
angels, my child!
Saint Iakovos (Tsalikis) (1920-1991)
