WEEK 3 - THE JEWISH READINGS - [Continued from page 4]
Curiously enough, the processions conducted in the Church of the Resurrection or Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem allow the Orthodox and other denominational members of the clergy to make three circles around the whole Sanctuary, although it would be forbidden in accordance with the Orthodox Tradition to pass behind the Patriarchal throne or Kathedra.

Finally, we have mentioned that Sukkot is HEHAG, the Feast par excellence.  Hag, in Hebrew, comes from a root that means "go around, circle", a kind of permanent move, similar to our planet around the sun and galaxies turning around and expanding themselves towards an unknown direction...]

Both the Feast of Booths and the Exaltation of the Life-giving Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ give us the oportunity to turn back to the first chapters of the Genesis-Bereshit:  the creation of the world, mankind and permanent redevelopment of this process for the benefit of a huge amount of people of every nation, tongue and area.
