Every
Holy and Great Wednesday Evening we hold in our Church the Service of the
Sacrament of Holy Unction (Ευχέλαιον in Greek).
From
the contents of the Prayers of this Sacrament, one can readily understand the
reason that this Service is held on Holy Wednesday Evening for all the
faithful. It is an added preparation for receiving Holy Communion on Holy
Thursday, the day of the institution of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
After
the Sacrament of Holy Unction we had chanted the Matins of Holy Thursday.
During the first part of it we had the procession of the sacred icon of the
Last Supper and we placed it at the centre of the Church.
