Saint Symeon the New Theologian says that we do not benefit from the ‘glamorous’ way in which we celebrate a feast in the Church.

On the contrary, he was well-disposed, a strict observer of the commandments of the Law and, indeed, the sort of person who was concerned about his salvation. He wanted to gain Christ’s approval, which is why he addresses Him in flattering terms right at the beginning. ‘Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’* Indeed, Saint Mark, in his Gospel (10, 17), notes that the man went so far as to kneel before Christ before asking his question. The good points about the young man In the first place, he’d observed God’s commandments from an early age. Of course, most of the commandments ...
