The Holy Fifty Days (BeAle Hamsa)

The Fifty Holy Days is a special season of our church. The prominent feature of this period is joy. The Church prays with a festal tune in all Her liturgies and prayers. During this period, there is no fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, and private fasts are not allowed. The Church lives the life of happiness, which was experienced by the holy disciples after Christ’s resurrection and His appearance to them. 
The Holy Fifty represent for us a very small taste of the heavenly kingdom. A time when the Lord is present among us and the work and struggles that were a part of our spiritual life on earth are behind us. It is a period of rejoicing in the Resurrection of our Lord and our resurrection with Him. It is the time to experience the new life in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the period in which a person, who has practiced self-control over material things during the 55 days of Great Lent, rises to live joyfully in the spirit and worship God in spirit and truth.  If a person plants with effort, toil, and tears during Great Lent, then the Fifty Holy Days are the time of harvest, accompanied by joy and gladness. 

As we hear and live through the prayers, hymns, and readings of the Holy Church, may our Lord help us to enjoy the journey of the Fifty Holy Days.
