Why is there a "je" before Agios said during Pascha week?  It's the only time we say "Je" before agios.

In Coptic, the "je" can either mean "for, because" or it can be an open quote to signify the beginning of a quote.  During Agios, this is especially puzzling because it's said on the second and third verses.

Does this make sense?

In general I know that the "Je" could have 2 meanings:

1. Quotation.  Eg:  Areten enemepsha engos khen oushepehmot je peniwt... (Make us worthy to say with thanksgiving "Our fahter..."

Another example: Thai et ere tiestratia enta niangelos teewou nak enkhetc efgw emmos je ouwou emefnouti... (by which the host of angels glorify you saying :Glory to God..." from St. Basil's liturgy

2. For (or because).  Eg: je pebnai shop sha eneh (For his mercy endures forever)

Another example: Ounof emmo Maria tivoki ouoh timav je fietkhen peameer... (Rejoice O Mary handmaiden and mother for who is in your arms...

In the context of the Tisagion however, the je seems superfluous.  Neither of the 2 meanings above apply here.

I still don't know why it was added, or who added it.  But I noticed that the older recordings had it, but most of the new ones don't have je.
