Wisdom! Go All Wobbly!

As most of you know, the priest prays many prayers in secret. That’s why you’ve probably never heard the “all wobbly” part following the “Command!” at the Presanctified Liturgy.

Its purpose, especially this time of year, is to make all clocks and calendars irrelevant. You only thought it was Thursday … it’s really Friday. Or, you only thought it was morning … it’s really evening. Etc.

So, while you were dutifully and piously falling to your knees during service, the above image shows what was actually taking place.

Now, carry on (don’t go all wobbly) … and may God grant us all a spiritually profitable Three Days.
