Great Lent in the Orthodox Church began on March 2, “Clean Monday,” and continues through most of April. During Lent, Orthodox Christians traditionally engage in deep efforts related to prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and increased attendance of services: all to prepare us for Holy Week and Pascha (Orthodox Easter,) which are the days that define our lives. We invite you to join us for any of our services (see google calendar.) In particular, here are some highlights of the season heading into Holy Week and Pascha:
