“O Son of God, Who art risen from the dead…”

Even in the quiet rhythm of Lent, the Resurrection remains the center.

Lord, save us.

The Sunday of Orthodoxy.

Today we processed with the holy icons and confessed the Faith received from the Fathers.

We proclaim that Christ truly became man and because He took flesh, matter itself is sanctified. The icon isn’t just a decoration; it’s a witness to the Incarnation.

A small chapel in New Zealand.
Open sky.
Unbroken confession.

The Church endures not by influence or numbers, but by fidelity!

Glory to God for all things!

On the Saturday of Souls, we gather to pray for the departed - those known to us and those known only to God.

Koliva, made from wheat and sweetened with hope, reminds us of the Lord’s words;
“Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

We entrust our departed to the mercy of Christ, who trampled down death by death.

Memory eternal!
