The Orthodox Church celebrates several Feast Days throughout the year, to commemorate events in the life of Christ and other Saints who now worship Him in Heaven. This part of our blog focuses on describing these Feast Days and their importance in the life of the Church.
On the Fourth Sunday of Great Lent (and on March 30), the Orthodox Church commemorates our Righteous Father John Climacus.
On the Third Sunday of Lent, we venerate the Holy Cross of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, to prepare us for His Crucifixion.
On the second Sunday of Lent, the Orthodox Church commemorates our holy Father St. Gregory Palamas (1296-1359), archbishop of Thessalonica.
On the first Sunday of Great Lent, we celebrate the Triumph of Orthodoxy over iconoclasm, the destruction of religious icons in the Church.
The Sunday of Forgiveness (or Cheesefare) has two themes: the expulsion of mankind from Paradise and Forgiveness. Learn more in this post!
In this post, we explore the parable of the Last Judgment. We also examine the icon for this parable and explain the lessons it teaches us.
