Today, He who suspended the earth in the waters is suspended on a cross.
Today, He who suspended the earth in the waters is suspended on a cross.
Today, He who suspended the earth in the waters is suspended on a cross.
The King of the Angels wears a crown of thorns.
He who wraps the sky in clouds is wrapped in a fake purple robe.
He who freed Adam in the Jordan accepts to be slapped.
The Bridegroom of the Church is fixed with nails to the cross.
The Son of the Virgin is pierced with a spear.
We worship Your Passion, O Christ.
We worship Your Passion, O Christ.
We worship Your Passion, O Christ. Show us also Your glorious Resurrection.✝️

On March 17, more than a dozen Orthodox Christians gathered in Dereham for a pilgrimage.

On March 17th, Orthodox Christians gathered in the churchyard at Saint Nicholas Church in Dereham for a pilgrimage to Saint Withburga’s holy well.

Father Paulinus led the service, assisted by an Orthodox nun and a Subdeacon.

Saint Withburga was a 7th-century princess of East Anglia who became a nun and founded a monastery in Dereham. According to holy tradition, when her community struggled with food, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her in a vision, and two deer miraculously provided milk for the nuns. After Withburga’s death, her relics were venerated in Dereham until they were later moved to Ely. After their removal, a spring of water emerged where her body had once rested, which became known as Saint Withburga’s Well.

At the well, a service of supplication was sung, prayers were offered, and the faithful were sprinkled with the holy water from the well, receiving its blessing.

March 17th is, of course, Saint Patrick’s Day, and Saint Withburga has been somewhat overshadowed, even forgotten by some. She was the youngest sister of the far more widely known Etheldreda, also known as Audrey. However, with the now annual pilgrimage to her well, the memory of her holy life and the miracles surrounding her monastery are once again being celebrated and remembered by the Orthodox faithful—a visible sign of our commitment to the English saints, or rather, their commitment to us.
