The theological research „The Triodion – ascetical temporality,
axiological metanoia and eschatological prophecy”, written by Rev.
Asist. Dr. Ioan Valentin Istrati analyses the liturgical book of the
Orthodox Church called Triodion, in order to discover the theology
of time united with the eternity in the Liturgy. The days of the Triodion
containing the Lent, are mystically significant as a procession
and an ascenssion to newer understanding of the mystery of faith.
The significance of this ascetic temporality is that the Christian
believer lives together with Christ and walks along Him, feeling His
wounds, dying His death and sharing His resurrection.
