Adam, Eve, and Eden

[dbacks5439]

I recall long ago seeing a youtube video of an Eastern Catholic tradition of a “play” which depicted Adam arguing with the angel who is guarding the gate of Eden for re-entry since Jesus redeemed Mankind. What is the name of this and is there still a video of it on youtube?

I don’t know ~ you’ll have to search youtube and find out.

The Syriac Gayasa service portrays the (eventually successful) attempts of the Wise Thief to fight his way past the Cherub guarding the entrance back into Paradise.

There are several video clips available on youtube - search for gayasa.

For the background and an English translation there is this link:

(Hope this is more useful than the previous reply.)
