On
Sundays during the Matins service the priest reads the Gospel
that explains the Resurrection of Christ. After that the
priest comes through the Royal Doors
into the Solea and holds the Gospel to the side that has
the icon of the Resurrection.
The
faithful come to worship and venerate the Resurrection of Christ,
because every Sunday, except for Palm Sunday, is considered Easter
in the Orthodox Faith. After people have venerated the Gospel
Book, the priest takes it in procession and places It on a stand
in the Narthex for whoever comes to
the church to venerate the Resurrection of Christ.
