"In your hand, you were holding spearmint leaves and a holy candle"
In the little grove
in front of the church,
you looked like a tiny bird
lost among the dense foliage;
In you hand, you were holding
spearmint leaves and a holy candle,
and you were pleading: "Rabbi,
save us again!"
That day was Good Friday.
Many nights have since passed;
and it was another year
when the war-clock ticked 9 o'clock past
and we watched the abominable jackal
get out of its cage,
making its ominous appearance.
That day was Good Friday.
The lads left for the front,
the villages are deserted
as youth struggles for freedom.
And when I came to see you briefly
before I was to leave as well,
you were silently crying,
bowing your head.
That day was Good Friday.
Have a blessed Orthodox Easter, those who celebrate it!
