laetitia crucis Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 So divinely BEAUTIFUL. In the pictures from the Third Sunday of Great Fast celebrated at Kazan Cathedral, what do all the rose petals symbolize? (Those are rose petals, right?)
Apotheoun Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 [quote name='laetitia crucis' date='21 March 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1269220788' post='2077259'] In the pictures from the Third Sunday of Great Fast celebrated at Kazan Cathedral, what do all the rose petals symbolize? (Those are rose petals, right?) [/quote] I am not positive about their meaning myself, because I have never been in a Church where that is done. The Third Sunday of Great Fast is the feast of the veneration of the Holy Cross, so perhaps the flower petals are meant to symbolize the tree of the cross.
Apotheoun Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Videos of the Patriarch's visit to Kazan Cathedral are available at the link below: [url="http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/1109518.html"]Kazan Cathedral[/url]
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I so desire that the Orthodox would return to communion with the Church. Pictures like these really increase this desire.
