Iqulethwe ngamacandelo amabini: iPhentekoste engcwele - ixesha apho oOthodoki baya kumhlangabeza uYesu, kunye neveki eyingcwele - iiveki xa iNkosi iza kudibana namakholwa.

Abakholwayo kufuneka bavakashele i-canon ka-Andrew waseKrete, uMariinho Stoyanie, uAkathist woMama kaThixo, iLiturgy yeZipho eziPheleleyo, iinkonzo zeveki eyingcwele.
Kuthetha ukuthini iposi? - U guquka. Ukuzila ukutya kuyimfuneko kumaKristu, kungekhona eNkosini, ngoko, ngaphandle kokuguquka, umntu unokufumana ukuthobeka kwenene aze athole uxolo kunye neemfihlakalo zikaThixo.
