Naheere - Order of Entrance into Heaven (Vadedalmeeno)
Celebrated on the Eve of
Monday during Passion Week, the Order of the Entrance into
Heaven, commonly known as Naheere "the lights", revolves
around the parable of the ten virgin, or bridesmaids
(Matthew 25). The service commences with a procession with
all lights off and the curtain of the altar drawn. The
clergy and the faithful hold lit candles during the
procession which gives the service its name. The service
consists of prayers, hymns, and readings from the Holy
Bible.
The service ends with a dramatic entrance into the altar
resembling the entrance of the wise virgins into heaven: The
celebrant stands in front of the closed curtain and chants:
al haw taro (see below) three times, each time the deacons
and the faithful repeating after him. Then the priest shouts
thrice moran, moran ftah lan tarokh "O Lord, O Lord, open
Thy door for us," after which the lights in the church are
turned on and simultaneously the curtain is opened. The
clergy enter the altar with a hymn of rejoice, accompanied
by the peels of the bells on the fans and the censor.
"Peter sat crying at the outer door:
Rabi - my Lord, open Your door;
I am Your disciple.
Let the heaven and earth weep for me,
For I have lost the keys of heaven. "
The celebrant representing St. Peter chants this hymn
thrice; each time the faithful repeat after him. The hymn
has a reference to Christ's giving the keys of Heaven to
Peter. After this hymn, the celebrant cries thrice "Moran -
Our Lord, our Lord, open your door to us."
