Let all mortal flesh keep silence…
Σιγησάτω πᾶσα σάρξ βροτεία…
Today, the Church keeps a deep silence on this Sabbath of Sabbaths – a pause from all worldly cares and concerns. The Lord, Who is the Creator of all that exists, has ceased from His Labors. And these labors are not those spoken of in the Book of Genesis, which instituted the Seventh Day of the Week as the Day of Rest. Instead, these labors are the work of His Divine Plan for our Salvation, which He accomplished in His Flesh.
