/ world today news/ On Holy Tuesday of Holy Week, the parable of the Savior about the 10 virgins is recalled, thereby suggesting that people should be rich in good deeds in anticipation of the future judgment.
On Holy Tuesday of Holy Week, in addition to the parable of the talents, the parable of the ten virgins is read in the church. This parable speaks of five wise and five foolish virgins, and implies five wise and five foolish human souls. The wise had clean lamps and holy oil, and the foolish had only clean lamps. The lamps in this parable symbolize the bodies, and the oil (oil) – mercy. In Greek, “grace” is pronounced “eleos”. This is where the word “polyeleus” came from, meaning “many-merciful”.
At the festive matins, the consecration of the church is enhanced by the lighting of the candles and oil, when the psalms are sung about the many mercies of God to the chosen people and it is repeated many times: “may His mercy be eternal, hallelujah”!
Holy Week is the last of the Easter Lent, which lasts eight weeks. During this week from Lazarus day, every day is significant until the Resurrection of Christ.
