Summary/Abstract: The hypostatic or personal union (enosis ipostatiki) is the wreath and the bondbetween man and God. The consequences of the hypostatic union form the objectof most of the hymns from the cultic treasure of the Eastern Church. Thetheandric person of our Saviour Jesus Christ is intrinsically present under oneform or the other in all the hymns of our Church. Kenosis represents one of theconsequences of the hypostatic union and a profound expression of God’ssupreme love for mankind. The Orthodox teaching - both in dogma and in divineservice - is against a radical kenosis that would nullify the sense of Jesus’Embodiment as overflowing of the divine energies in the world and in mankind
