Final Stretch to Holy Week & Pascha!

March 31, 2025 Featured
DCIM100MEDIADJI_0366.JPG

This year, Orthodox Pascha & Western Easter coincide as Christians everywhere mark the Resurrection of Christ on April 20! For Orthodox Christians, Holy Week & Pascha are some of the most important days in the entire Church Year. We have created a complete Holy Week & Pascha “Guide” with lots of details here. We invite you to visit our parish in these sacred days. You can learn more about making an actual visit to St. Athanasius here. You can also take a peek inside our church by checking our parish YouTube channel. Watching a service is no substitute for actually being present, but we invite you into our “virtual space” if that helps you get a sense of what we do in our services.

The best thing to do is to plunge right into Holy Week. Here is our 2025 Schedule:

Our broader calendar for April 2025 is below (and our full online calendar–updated through June–can be found here.)

We also welcome those who are in (or close to) Madison County to consider a visit our St. Nina Mission in Berea, which helps extend the reach of the Orthodox Faith along the I-75 corridor and Wilderness Trail. We are drawing people from Somerset, London, Corbin, and beyond — and are celebrating at least two services in our Berea chapel each week! )

Below is a collection of photos from March 2025 showing the full range of liturgical, educational, missional, and social life in our parish. We hope these photos and the depth of our Faith inspire you to visit St. Athanasius Orthodox Church or our St. Nina Mission during this upcoming, glorious season of church life! If you have questions about our calendar or any aspect of our Faith or parish life, please reach out to our rector and senior pastor Fr. Justin at fr.justin@bluegrassorthodox.org.
