NATIVITY OF THE HOLY THEOTOKOS Vigil and Confession: 6:00 p.m., September 20 Wednesday Liturgy: 9:30 a.m., September 21 Thursday In the city of Nazareth dwelled a God-fearing elderly couple - Joachim, from the house of David, and Anna, from the priestly tribe of Aaron.

EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS (Strict fast) Vigil and Confession: 6:00 p.m., September 26, Tuesday Liturgy: 9:30 a.m., September 27, Wednesday The feast of the Elevation is in honor of the Cross of Christ. In rememberance of the suffering and death of Christ on the Cross, the day is one of strict fasting. If the birth of the Holy Virgin is the anticipation of the mystery of the Incarnation, then the Cross announces the expiatory sacrifice of Christ. For this reason the feast is celebrated in the beginning of the Church calendar year. The sign of the cross - in Roman times an instrument of shameful death, after Golgotha becomes the symbol of salvation and victory. Read more about the feast here. |
