- My question is regarding the awesome Euchologion book put out by the Southern Diocese. I was wondering why, if the Trisagion is a Christological hymn in our church, why the book has: "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, who were born of a virgin, have mercy upon us" etc. and the plural is used in all of the verses.
Also, in other prayers that I thought were addressed to God the Father the plural is used. For example, "O You, The BEING, Master, Lord, God of Truth, being before the ages and reigning forever; who dwell in the highest and look upon the lowly; who have created heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is therein; the Father of Our Lord..." The plural is used though addressing just God the Father. Also, in the Liturgy of St. Gregory, "O You, The BEING, Master, Lord, true God of true God, who have manifested to us the Light of the Father, who have granted us the true knowledge of the Holy Spirit..." Have is used several times in that whole prayer, even though it seems that we are addressing only God the Father from the prayer "Axion ke zikeon..."
