Topic: Paschal Rush service

[kuddes6]

Hey, a quick question from a n00b Orthodox: what is the origin and/or meaning of the term "Rush" regarding the rush service at Pascha?

[hecma925]

Perhaps rushing to the empty tomb.

In Slavic tradition it's not named "rush". But in the Arabic one, indeed, it's  هجمة - hajme, meaning  an attack. I think it's related to the last part of this service: opening of the door with priest shouting "Let the King of the Glory may enter" and knocking (or even hiting) the door of the church 3 times.

Trying to shoot him down before Transfiguration!

Got it, so you're saying it doesn't have a "Rushian" origin?

Slavic does not mean only "Russian". Anyway, in Slavic tradition this part of Paschal service is called "zautrenia", it means "before-matins" or "before the dawn".

Oh dear, I was afraid that my humor would go over like a lead balloon. I'm aware of all that, I was making a bad pun for humor. Pray for me... 😃

Being a Polish Orthodox, I'm very vulnerable to assigment Orthodox (the best) traditions to Russians

I won't deny that my first Pascha liturgy this year did seem like it was 2112 hours 😋

Wow, that's cool, I mean I haven't been Orthodox long, but I've never met any Polish Orthodox. As a convert from Catholicism, I will say that the Poles seemed to be among the most zealous Catholics, I bet you have your work cut out for you

We, Polish Orthodox, form an autocephalus Church But yeah, tehre are very few Polish Orthodox in US, and there are no Polish Orthodox parishes - Orthodox people of Polish descent attend various jurisdictions.

I have only heard this term in the Greek Church. I always understood it to mean that the service was performed more quickly than a normal Liturgy.  Of course, this might not be the case in a monastery, where the Paschal Liturgy could extend all the way till dawn.
