Pascha Continues: Christ is Risen!

April 30, 2025 Featured

On Sunday, April 20, Orthodox Christians everywhere celebrated the Feast of Feasts — the PASCHA of the Lord. (You can see our Paschal photos below.) The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ continues through May 29 (40 days) when the Church keeps the Feast of the Lord’s Ascension and reaches its climax on Pentecost Sunday (June 8,) Each Sunday in this season is unique and our parish continues its robust set of services throughout each week. 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. Check out our updated google calendar here (and you can import it into your own calendar if you wish) and our pdf calendar for May 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 9 services in our Berea chapel each month! )

Below is a collection of photos from April 2025, which includes Holy Week & Pascha, as well as a pilgrimage our youth took and other photos of parish life throughout the month, 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 Paschal season! 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.
