“Jesus, being God, knew full well that if He addressed each of these instances with Peter, or if He expelled him from the company of the other apostles, then the plan of God, historically speaking, would not be fulfilled, and that plan was to bring back His Wife at the right time in world history, when sin had reached its full measure. There is nothing to say that Jesus didn’t know full well what Peter would do when he assumed control of the apostles and disciples, for evidence of that surrounded Him.

 As it was, there is nothing to say that He didn’t know it would all be a necessary part of His mission that He must painfully endure for the sake of a greater good, which would be when the time of ‘Woman’ came to pass naturally. Just living and teaching them, Jesus knew that as the male mind would not convert, God’s Salvific Plan would have to be divided into two parts: the fullness of time in the biblical period, and at the end of time slated for another ‘fullness of time’ necessary to fulfill all the scriptural prophecies made by Jesus Himself as were mentioned in this book. 

If it was necessary that Eesha’s role was meant to unfold in the Age of Aquarius, and complete the mission Jesus began, then Peter’s usurped role and decisions to follow, as distasteful as they were, would be a necessary piece of the puzzle, since it would set into motion events in history that would lead up to sin reaching its full measure. This would be when the Age of Aquarius was due to begin. Just as much as Judas’ role was necessary to set into motion the events that would bring about the cause for the Resurrection, so Peter’s role was necessary in order to bring about God’s Plan up into the ‘fullness of time.’ Peter’s inability (or refusal) to transcend kept God’s children from entering into the transcendental and from understanding Christ’s True Mission. Actually, Peter missed it completely: the restoration of the Sacred Balance, the ability to have, and share in, a transcendental life once again, and the breaking of bonds that time built, like a wall around God’s people to keep them starving, rather than receive food for eternal life. But what it did do was play out until it exhausted its purpose, and the groundwork was broken to forge ahead with the completion of His mission.”

Holy Tuesday

The Day of the Actual Last Supper 

Today we are celebrating Holy Tuesday, the day Eeshan’s believe to be the actual day of the Last Supper. Chronologically, the events that took place surrounding Jesus could not have occurred within a 24 hour period beginning Thursday into Friday (click here to see explanation). 

In those days prior to Jesus, there was no ‘spiritual food’ for life everlasting. There was only a ‘hidden bread’ and a Passover wine, which subsequently should have reflected the Sacred Bread and Drink hidden back in the Garden of Eden, and which remained there after the gates were closed; however, it is the events such as in the Exodus that lay the foundational groundwork for the Seder. Jesus’ Eucharist, on the other hand, at the Last Supper, did not. In fact, Eeshans teach and believe that what took place at the Last Supper, hallmarked that there actually was a “Spiritual Bread and Drink” from which the tradition stemmed from.

The Feast of the Passover 

The Feast of the Passover is known for its connection to Moses and the Jewish redemption. Though Christian history and the celebration of Christ’s passion and death is for mankind’s redemption by Jesus, we can clearly see even within these teachings and worship services how greatly they differ in doctrine. 

The First Marriage Feast was at the Last Supper

Once one enters into the Eeshan Marriage Feast of the Lamb and His Wife, it is clear to see how greatly it differs in comparison to the Mass and Liturgy with which most are familiar. The link is back to Adam and Eve outwardly in its prayers, and the only ties to the Old Law are the very striking errors that Jesus would draw critical attention to. In so many ways Jesus tried to right the wrongs of the Law of the time that the religious leaders so vehemently defended. The people of the time were weighing the Law of God, as they were told and lived for generations, not being aware of the Sacred Food and Drink but yet being aware of a ‘hidden bread,’ known as the 'afikomen.'

Their notion of the importance of the afikomen could now be seen, and used by God, for this 'Hidden Bread' is what would be used at the Supper to store the essence of Christ, which Mary Magdalen would consume upon His death and activate Their Oneness. This along with Her Kiss would bring about His Resurrection as She breathed into Him life. This is why we reserve the Blessed Sacrament today— to give glory and honor to the Divine Masculine and Feminine Redeemers. 

In this fullness of time, what now we uncover, reveal and taste that’s been hiding in plain sight-- the Afikomen. 

Now in this world the Truth, is here, and

waiting to be found.
The day has come and the answer is clear.

Open their eyes, O God. 

For those who have the eyes to see and ears to hear,
fill them with the humility to learn,
and with the generosity to share these Truths;
with the curiosity to ask the right questions.
Along with the vision to see with new eyes,
and the audacity to think outside the box

with perseverance is our prayer. 

We eat this Afikomen,

here now in fulfillment of the Christ’s words—

That what was hidden is revealed to all the world.

ARE YOU STILL MINE?

With the commencing of the Lenten Season, we see numerous stories, articles, and documentaries about Jesus. We have those who believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is the second Person of the Holy Trinity, Son of God and Messiah. Then there are those who believe he is/was a great prophet- nothing more. Some believe he was celibate, and there are those who believe he was married. The list of pros and cons is endless. So, who is this Person we celebrate at Christmas and Easter?

The world has many pieces they believe would fit to form a complete puzzle of this unique yet mysterious Man/God, however, most times the pieces are altered. Truth is, they immediately are found to be facts made up to fit what is accepted as 'motivated reasoning' which is described as “a pervasive tendency of human cognition.” In other words, if a fact supports what we want or think, we accept it as truth- with no proof necessary.

With the onset of so much false or fake news across social media- truth has become relative. It exists to serve many perceptions. It is malleable. So too are scriptures, for we see regardless of the many proofs and actual admittance by Church authorities that Scriptures are flawed- it is becoming a known fact, that people don’t want to know or see beyond what comforts them, for it is easier to use what they believe shaped their lives even though they may not live according to what they read- it is good enough for them. [But Truth itself comes from one perfect Source and that is Jesus Christ, God, the All in All].

That’s all great if you are looking for a trivialized spirituality which satisfies your conscience with regards to having a spirituality or obligation to God especially during these two most sacred Liturgical seasons; but you must ask yourself- “Is this what you want?” or do you want to really enter into a spirituality and know the Person of Jesus Christ?

Accepting anything or everything handed to you despite the discovery of what was not true or factual does not deepen your relationship and you are cheating yourself and God. Knowing facts never available to you before opens up a whole new dynamic whereby you gain the fullness of and richness of Jesus Christ- vital to the salvation promised to us by God at the time of Adam and Eve's Choice. Who doesn’t want to know what was always intended by Him? Without this knowledge, how can one say they truly are capable of building a relationship between God and you, and thereby living your fullest life on your journey back to Paradise?

The Eeshan Religion’s foundation and beliefs are safe guarded with the intention of bringing you to the fullest and richest way back to God with clarity via Enlightenment as never presented before.

Join us on this most Sacred “way” to finding your center, your focus and your own spirituality despite: age, race, color, creed, gender identity, and anything else which divides and separates us as a family under the All in All, the One, Who is most loving and selfless with regards to love, loving kindness, and mercy. The God Who gave us not a life without value or one of sheer existence, but one that gives merit and worth as we participate in and allow ourselves by choice to be led back to what Jesus called “our inheritance” as children of God.

Though each Rite, whether Eastern or Western tradition provides for, we invite you to follow the Eeshan Religion (www.eeshanchurch.org) and see how our beliefs truly reflect your worth by witnessing the depth of our Merkabahalic, Kabbahlic, Mystic roots tracing back to Jesus from His birth to His death in ways that will fill your heart and soul beyond your greatest dreams.

It goes without saying during this solemn season that we recognize Jesus Christ- True God, True Man. Who together with His Wife, sacrificed Their time here on earth not only fulfilling God's Will, but giving up Their Will for love of us. So with that said, is Jesus worth a thought, a prayer, or maybe even fasting- in return for your life everlasting?

*Below we have provided a history of the LITURGICAL YEAR provided by the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh which, though we differ on certain beliefs, we find to be one of few exceptional writings in presenting a way of entering into these mysteries.*

​
 

THE LITURGICAL YEAR

according to

THE BYZANTINE TRADITION

https://www.archpitt.org/the-liturgical-year-according-to-the-byzantine-tradition/

​

​

The liturgical year is a system of yearly church celebrations by which the faithful repeatedly relive the salutary mysteries of their salvation. In the liturgical year Our Lord Jesus Christ continues to live with us, to teach us, and to lead us to our heavenly destination.

​

The liturgical year, like a beautifully painted iconostasis (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 14), again and again places before our eyes Christ’s sublime work of redemption in order to keep us intimately united to our Divine Redeemer. It inspires us and gradually forms a living Christ in us ” until we become a perfect man” (Eph. 4:13). It is indeed “a year of grace,” a year of God’s favor.

​

1. The Church follows the computation of time according to the civil calendar year. However, in the Byzantine Rite, the liturgical year begins on September 1st, while the Western Churches begin their liturgical year on the first Sunday of Advent.

​

The Byzantine Church inaugurated the first of September as the beginning of the liturgical year in honor of the victory of Emperor Constantine the Great (d. 337 A.D.), over his adversary, Emperor Maxentius, in 312 A.D. Prior to Constantine, Christianity was constantly exposed to persecution. But with Constantine’s victory, as attested to by St. Ambrose (d. 397 A.D.), the Church began a new life.

​

The liturgical year in the Byzantine Church ends with the feast of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist (August 29) , with whom the Old Testament also concludes. The New Testament, liturgically symbolized by the New Year, begins with the preaching of Our lord, as indicated by the Evangelist: “After John’s arrest Jesus appeared in Galilee, proclaiming the good news:-The time has come and the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mk. 1 :14-15). Hence the liturgical year is often referred to as “a year of salvation.”

​

The liturgical year is inaugurated by the message of the Prophet Isaiah, which Jesus applied to Himself : “The Spirit of the lord is upon me, for He has anointed me. He has sent me to bring the good news, to announce a year of grace (favor) from the lord” (lk. 4:16-19). In this way the beginning of the liturgical year symbolizes the beginning of the New Testament, inaugurated by the preaching of the gospel (good news) in the person of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One of God.

​

2. From the earliest Apostolic times the Christians were convinced that they must celebrate the saving work of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by recalling the salutary mysteries of salvation on certain days of the year. The starting paint was the weekly commemoration of Christ’s resurrection on Sunday.

Thus Sunday for the Christians became-the Lord’s Day (Rev. 1:10) , supplanting the Sabbath of the Old Testament. Every week on Sunday the Christians commemorated the resurrection of Christ by the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, referred to by the Acts as ” the breaking of bread” (Acts 20 :7) . The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles, compiled at the turn of the first century, admonished the faithful : “On the Lord ‘s Day, after you come together, break bread and offer the Eucharist” (14, 1).

​

The early Church , commemorating the resurrection of Christ every Sunday, did not neglect the yearly commemoration of the glorious event and, from the early days, celebrated the Feast of Easter with great solemnity. As a matter of fact Easter became the core of the liturgical year and was referred to as “The Feast of feasts and Solemnity of solemnities.”

​

3. In the early centuries there arose a heated controversy as to the date of the celebration of Easter. The question was finally resolved at the First Council of Nicea (325 A.D.) when it was determined that Easter had to be celebrated every year on the first Sunday, following the full moon after the spring equinox. According to this rule, the earliest date upon which Easter can be celebrated is March 22, and the latest, April 25. But it always must be on Sunday.

Since the date of Easter changes from year to year, the Sundays, the holy seasons and the festivals that depend on Easter form the so called-Cycle of the Movable Feasts. The Movable or Easter Cycle begins four weeks before Lent with the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee, and serves as a liturgical preparation for that Holy Season.

​

The Great Lent, in preparation for Easter, starts on the Monday after Cheese Fare Sunday (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 13). The sixth Sunday of Lent, called Palm Sunday in commemoration of Christ’s solemn entrance into Jerusalem (In. 12:1 2-19), introduces us into the Passion or the Holy Great Week, during which we relive the sufferings and the death of our Lord, endured for our salvation. Then, on Easter Sunday, we suddenly burst into the joyous celebration of Christ’s glorious resurrection.

​

On the 40th day after Easter we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension, commemorating the ascent of our Lord to heaven (Lk. 24:50-53 .) Ten days later, i.e. on the fiftieth day after Easter, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost in commemoration of the descent of the Holy Spirit, when the Church was solemnly inaugurated (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 3).

​

Pentecost is followed by the series of 32 Sundays, indicated by successive numbers, the first of which is called All Saints Sunday. The Easter Cycle of the movable feasts ends with the 32nd Sunday after Pentecost, known as the Sunday of Zacchaeus (Lk. 19:1-10).

​

4. The second cycle which influenced the formation of the liturgical year is-the Cycle of the Immovable Feasts, at the center of which we find the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord, celebrated since the turn of the fourth century, on the 25th of December (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 5) . These feasts are call ed-immovable because, unlike the feasts of the Easter Cycle, they fall on the same day of the month every year and their date never changes.

​

Eight days after Christmas, on January 1, we celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision and the naming of the Child Jesus, as indicated by Scripture (Lk. 2:21 ). On February 2, forty days after Christ’s birth, we solemnly commemorate the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 12). The Feast of the Annunciation, known in early days as the Conception of Our Lord, is observed nine months before Christ’s nativity, that is on the 25th of March.

​

One of the most ancient feasts of this cycle is celebrated on January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ’s divinity at His baptism, commemorated by the solemn Blessing of the Water on that day (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 9). Then on August 6th we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Transfiguration (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 18). Finally, on the 14th of September we commemorate the finding of the instrument of our salvation by st. Helen (d. 333 A.D.), as we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Venerable Cross (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 8).

​

Thus our Church, through the annual celebration of the Lord’s feasts, repeatedly unfolds to us the riches of Christ’s merits and salutary graces.

​

5. In celebrating the mysteries of our salvation we cannot exclude the Holy Mother of God (Theotokos), since she played an important role in the economy of our salvation. And we are happy to know that precisely the Byzantine Rite is characterized by its high esteem and veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Already at the beginning of the liturgical year, on September 8th, we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God, since Mary’s birth signaled “the beginning of our salvation” (cf. Stich era of Utia). In connection with Mary’s birth, since the eighth century, we celebrate the Feast of the Conception of the Mother of God, recently referred to as the Immaculate Conception (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 36).

​

At the beginning of the 10th century the Feast of the Patronage of the Mother of God was introduced which with time became a great inspiration to the Ruthenian people in their filial devotion to the Blessed Mother of God (ct. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n. 1). Since the 8th century we also celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Mother of God in the Temple (November 21st).

​

There are several minor feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but the liturgical year ends with the oldest Marian feast, the Dormition, known in the Western Church as the Assumption. It is solemnly celebrated to the present time on the 15th of August (cf. Byzantine Leaflet Series, n.11).

​

6. The Church Fathers also included the commemoration of many Martyrs and other Saints in the liturgical year. The II Vatican Council reminds us that the Martyrs and Saints, being “raised to holiness by abundant graces of God and already in possession of their eternal salvation, sing constant praises to God in heaven and offer prayers for us” (ct. Decree on the Liturgy, n. 104). By celebrating the passage of the Saints from the earth to heaven, the Church also proposes them to us as so many examples of genuine Christian living.

​

The veneration of the Saints has a similar purpose. This began in the first century, first the Veneration of the Martyrs and then of the Apostles. Soon other Saints were added. Between the fourth and the fifth centuries the veneration of the Saints became a general practice, ceding the first place to St. John the Baptist (after the Blessed Mother and the Angels), in view of Christ’s testimony: “There is no one greater than John!” (Lk. 7:28). The Saints usually are commemorated on the anniversary of their death, since the departure of those “that died in the Lord” (Rom. 14:8) was considered by the Christians as a day of birth to a new and happy life with God.

​

The liturgical year is indeed a year of grace and our sanctification, keeping us in close union with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The liturgical year helps us to become more and more Christ-like, it molds Christ within us. In a word, through the liturgical year Jesus Christ continues to live among us, He continues to teach us, He continues to lead us toward our eternal salvation.
