FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT: SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY
The first Sunday in Lent is dedicated the the celebration of Orthodoxy. The first Sunday of Lent is dedicated to the Celebration of Orthodoxy- and what a celebration it is. All our students will participate in a procession around the Church holding holy icons depicting Christ, the Theotokos and all of those saints who have walked the Christian life before us. We remember the joys and splendors of our Church! We rejoice in the Icons that bring God and His Saints into our lives, and give us a glimpse into heaven on Earth. We celebrate the return of the holy icons to the Church and begin the Lenten season remembering our Holy Orthodox faith which guides us towards our relationship with Christ.
