SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY: First Sunday of Great Lent

Sunday of Orthodoxy

First Sunday of Great Lent 2014

Parishes throughout the diocese participated in evening commemorations of the “Sunday of Orthodoxy” (the first Sunday of Great Lent) on 9 March. The traditional Lenten Vespers service celebrates the truth and treasure of the Orthodox faith while providing an opportunity for a common gathering of faithful from Orthodox parishes of various canonical jurisdictions within a particular geographic location. For example, in Buffalo NY the service was at Saint George Orthodox Church; in Rochester NY the service was at Saint Mary “the Protectress” Ukrainian Orthodox Church; in Binghamton-Endicott NY the service was at Saints Peter & Paul Church.
