One of the most theologically significant great feasts of the Church year is the Transfiguration of the Lord - and it is celebrated tonight & tomorrow! Please join us at 6:00 p.m. this evening and 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Don't forget your basket of fruit - we bless fruit after the Divine Liturgy tomorrow!

Today marks the feast of the Procession of the Life-Giving Cross and the first day of the Dormition Fast. This fast is stricter in nature, with fish only allowed once during the fast - on the feast of the Transfiguration. The fast, though, is short. Please do not put off starting the fast, for it you do, it may be gone before you start. The fast lasts only 14 days and ends with the last great feast of the Church Year, the Dormition of the Mother of God. Please visit the links below to learn more about today's feast.
