With the Great Entrance, Christ enters the Holy Altar to offer Himself for us. The Holy Gifts are placed at the Altar and covered with a cloth. This represents the covering of Christ's body by Joseph of Arimathea after he took Christ's body down from the cross. In a set of prayers, we are asked to focus completely on essential matters of our life. The priest offers peace to all of us.
Peace is the provider of all good things and opens the door to love.
Only through love towards one another, only if we have the one mind can we begin to affirm what we believe. The Creed, also known as the Symbol of our Faith, is recited. It is our human response and wisdon to God's wisdom. We stand confidently and show our love to God by affirming Him. Likewise, our whole life should be offered to God so that He may bless and transfigure it.
