GRAVE BLESSINGS

May 1, 2011

“Blessed are they whom Thou has chosen and taken, O Lord,  Alleluia!  Their memory is from generation to generation.  Alleluia!  Their souls shall dwell with the blessed.  Alleluia!”    Sunday was a glorious day.  The weather was beautiful and it was a perfect day for blessing graves of our loved ones.  After a Panikhida service in our chapel, Father Sophrony went blessing from grave to grave.   The day was so clear you could see New York City from the road.  If anyone is interested in purchasing grave sites in this beautiful cemetery, please contact us.

Memorial Saturday - Panikhida Followed by Great Vespers 5:00 PM

With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Thy servant, where sickness and sorrow are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.  Whither we mortals shall go, making our funeral dirge the hynn:     Alleluia.  Memory Eternal!
