St. Irene Chrysovalantou | An Introduction to Holy Week There is an urgency in the tone of the services as, successively, the innocent suffering of the Patriarch Joseph in the Old Testament, the parable of the Ten Virgins, and the anointing by the sinful woman (traditionally identified as Kassiani) is brought to mind in anticipation of the events to follow. More than a blessing of Holy Oil for the sick, the service functions as a transition from the expectation of the Passion to a spiritual participation in the last days of Christ. In conclusion, Holy Week in the Orthodox Church is more than attending a series of services, it is a week long experiencing of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. www.stirene.org /Archives/Triodion/GreatLent/HolyWeek/HolyWeek_intro.htm   (1514 words)

All these steps are meant for study and understanding of the events that led to the execution of Jesus, and each stage bears a symbolic meaning with a certain phase of the life of Christ.
