Pre-Eternal Aid No. 1 | Orthodox Christian Hoodie / Hooded Sweatshirt

“Before the world was formed, when there was as yet no sun dividing day from night, there was not an age such as could be measured , but there was the sort of temporal motion and interval that is co-extensive with eternity. And in this sense there is but one age, and God is spoken of as eternal (αιώνιος, aiónios) and pre-eternal (προαιώνιος, proaionios), for the age or æon itself is His creation. For God, Who alone is without beginning, is Himself the Creator of all things, whether age or any other existing thing. And when I say God, it is evident that I mean the Father and His Only begotten Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, and His all-holy Spirit, our one God.”

- St John of Damascus

“Desiring to save the human race, the Pre-Eternal Council of the Holy Trinity chose you, O Archangel Gabriel, to deliver this hidden mystery of the incarnation of the Son of God, and you, as a faithful minister of God’s providence, ever sing to Him: Alleluia.”

- Akathist to the Archangel Gabriel

☦️

“The Virgin today gives birth to Him who is above all being;
the earth offers the cave to Him whom no one can approach;
angels with shepherds give Him glory,
while Magi journey with a star,
for to us is born a little Child, the pre-eternal God.”
