This year the Sunday of the Paralytic fell on the feast of the translation of the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. We congratulate all on the double feast of this Sunday! Join us in person soon at St. Vladimir's to experience the beautiful Divine Services, or catch us on the live stream (see the links immediately to the right of this post). See you soon at St. Vladimir's!
Please find the sound files from the All English Cycle for May below. This was the feast of St. John the Theologian - such an important saint! And it was our honor to have the opportunity to serve the Divine Services for St. John's feast. We congratulate all with the commemoration of the Evangelist John!
Please find the sound files from the Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women at the links below. As is the tradition in our parish, the men took over the kitchen, prepared the meal, washed up the dishes, and otherwise gave our very hard working sisters a break on this feast of the celebration of the holy myrrh-bearers. Congratulations to all who celebrate their names days today! Christ is Risen!
Please find the sound files for the feast of Thomas Sunday at St. Vladimir's below. There are two sermons - the first is the Paschal Sermon of Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The second is a few words from Fr. Gregory about the Resurrectional Gospel read on Thomas Sunday and the 11 Resurrectional Gospels read at Sunday Matins weekly. We promised to provide Metropolitan Hilarion's sermon in Russian - you can find that here.
Please find the files from the Divine Service of Bright Monday at St. Vladimir's below. The Divine Liturgy on Bright Monday was a Children's Liturgy, with the young people singing, serving in the altar, manning the candle stand, preparing the food for the post-liturgy meal, and all other important duties surrounding this Divine Service. We thank the young people and their parents who made this wonderful day possible!
