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.
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.
On the Fifth Sunday of Great Lent, the Orthodox Church commemorates our Righteous Mother St. Mary of Egypt. Learn why in this post!
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.
