Christ is Hidden that We May Behold Him

St Peters Orthodox Church

Today is Passion Sunday marking a significant turn toward the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The iconography and all images of our Lord Jesus Christ are hidden from us. Why would our Lord give us this prescription for the last two weeks of Lent? Today, as we consider this question, we find that it has everything to do with the true sense of remembrance by God's grace in His Church. There is something to be experienced in the hiddenness of our Lord and today we set ourselves to walk these final two weeks of Lents that we might encounter Him in His hiddenness.
