12 February, 2016Introduction (1-10)1. First of all, the Scripture about the Hebrew Exodus has been read and the words of the mystery have been explained as to how the sheep was sacrificed and the people were saved.
In the beginning, when God made heaven and earth, and everything in them through his word, he himself formed man from the earth and shared with that form his own breath, he himself placed him in paradise, which was eastward in Eden, and there they lived most luxuriously.

“They paid me back evil for good, and my soul with barrenness Ps. 34:12

The Peri Pascha of Melito. Peace to the one who wrote, and to the one who reads, and to those who love the Lord in simplicity of heart.
Though Melito, bishop of Sardis, was one of the greatest 2nd century Church Fathers, virtually none of his writings survived the ravages of time. When an extensive Homily by Melito on Easter (“Peri Pascha”) was discovered early in the 20th century, it caused a sensation among Christian scholars. This homily shows us how the early Christians saw Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection foreshadowed everywhere in the Old Testament.
