Videos - Highlights of Easter Divine Liturgy 2012
Orthodox Christian churches, including the Serbian Orthodox church, celebrate the “miracle of Easter” or Pascha on the Easter Sunday date in the Julian calendar. Many people see Easter as the most important event in the church calendar. Orthodox Easter preparations begin with 40 days of strict fasting prior to Easter Day. Faithful Orthodox Christians attend liturgies during the Holy Week that leads up to Easter Sunday. Below are three videos that show excerpts of the Easter Divine Liturgy at St. Sava Church.
Best Wishes to Father John for a Speedy Recovery
On Sunday evening March 25, on his way home from Lenten Vespers, Father John was involved in a serious auto accident in Florida. He had surgery earlier this week to put a rod in his left arm and suffered some complications. We are happy to report that he was able to attend and assist during Palm Sunday service, and wish him a full and speedy recovery.
