CEMETERY BLESSINGS ON ST. THOMAS SUNDAY.....

May 8, 2016

Cemetery blessing was held at East Ridgelawn on St. Thomas Sunday, which was also Mother’s Day.  A Panikhida was held in the chapel on the grounds for all those who were remembered by their families and friends; and following the service, individual graves were blessed.  In the morning our appreciation was shown to all those women who were in church, and here it was fitting that we visit and pray for those wonderful mothers who had fallen asleep in the Lord.  Pictures follow.

ANNUNCIATION of the Most Holy Theotokos - Vesperal Divine Liturgy - 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM - Pre-Sanctified Liturgy at Christ the Savior Church, Paramus with Archbishop Michael

Today is the beginning of our salvation, the revelation of the eternal mystery!  The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin as Gabriel announces the coming of Grace.  Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos:  Hail, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with You!  (Troparion)
