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 January 7th in the Orthodox Church, we commemorate the glorious Prophet and Forerunner Saint John the Baptist, cousin of Jesus Christ.
In anticipation of the Nativity of Our Lord, we must spiritually prepare not only ourselves, but also our children for this glorious Feast!
In the Orthodox Church, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day a bit differently than other Americans. We celebrate it every single day of the year!
In the Orthodox Church, we celebrate the Feast of the Dormition (or falling asleep) of the Mother of God (Theotokos) and Ever-Virgin Mary.
The Sunday before Great and Holy Pascha (Easter in the West), the Orthodox Church celebrates one of its most joyous feasts: Palm Sunday!
On the day before Palm Sunday, we remember Christ’s raising of His dear friend Lazarus from the dead, after he had been dead four days.
