ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Synaxis

Okay kiddo, so a synaxis is when a group of people get together to celebrate something important, like a holiday or a special event. It's like a big party where everyone comes together to remember and honor something that matters a lot to them.

In church, a synaxis is a special gathering of people who come together to celebrate and give thanks for important events in the life of Jesus and the church. This might include things like Christmas, Easter, or other important feast days. During a synaxis, people sing songs, say prayers, and listen to stories from the Bible that help them remember and feel connected to these important events.

Think of it like a big birthday party for Jesus and other saints in the church. Everyone comes together to sing, eat, and celebrate the good things that have happened and the good people who have made a difference in our world. It's a time to feel grateful and happy with friends and family, and to remember how important these special events and people are in our lives.
