THE CONQUEROR OF DEATH - documentary with subtitles
The Conqueror of Death is a documentary film that describes the days of
the so-called Passion Week (the suffering Week, the week in which Christ suffered to death) and Sunday, the day that Christ has resurrected.
The film is designed so as to
explain to a wider audience the implications of these events and the
significance of the Resurrection of Christ, and therefore the meaning of
Theanthropic feats of salvation.
The Divine Services and the
Monastery life in the days of Passion Week and the Resurrection were recorded
by Cinnamon production from Belgrade in Dečani Monastery (Kosovo and Metohia)
between 2009-2012.
The significance of each of
these days, in particular, is explained by quotations from the Gospel, from the
liturgical texts of the Lenten Triodion of the Holy and Great Week, from the
sermons of St. John the Chrysostom, St. Bishop Nikolai of Zhicha and St. Father
Justin of Chelije.
Metropolitan
of Montenegro and the Littoral, Amfilohie who at the time of working on one
phase of the film in 2010 was the administrator of the Diocese of Raska and
Prizren, in the film explains the meaning of all major events in the last week
of Christ's life on earth, his suffering for us and the very significance of
the Resurrection of Christ.
