On Great and Holy Saturday (April 23) our clergy and faithful gathered to celebrate the Vesperal Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great. This service is marked by 15 Old Testament readings, which were read primarily by our parish youth. They all did a great job... but most importantly we pray that they will be encouraged in their faith and devotion to Jesus Christ! Another exciting element in this service, is the changing of Vestments from the dark purple of Lent/Holy Week to the bright white of the Resurrection during the singing of "Arise O God and Judge the earth..." Following the service, many of our faithful stayed to prepare the church, and assemble the red eggs which were distributed on Pascha in the early morning!
