Bridegroom Troparion (Behold the Bridegroom Cometh)

The first three days of Holy Week are called "The Bridegroom Services". Throughout the services we are never allowed to forget that Christ the Bridegroom who comes is God, the God who created man in the beginning and who now comes to do all things for his salvation in His love for mankind. He constantly demands that we return this love, and that we show to others the same mercy that he shows to us.
