24.01.2022 + Christmas Eve + On the eve of Christmas, the Old Testament prophecies of Christ’s birth are chanted during the Divine Liturgy. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulders, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end (Isaiah 9:67).

09.01.2022 + Great and Holy Wednesday: Judas Betrayed the Son of God + Judas stretched forth his hand to the lawless, she sought the remission of her sins, while he took the pieces of silver. The harlot brought myrrh to anoint the Lord; the disciple made an agreement with the lawless. She rejoiced when she spent the precious myrrh; he set out to sell Him who has no price. She recognized her Master, while he departed from his Master. She was freed from sin, but he became the captive of sin. - St. John Chrysostom

02.01.2022 Great and Holy Friday Велики Петок Today we commemorate the sufferings of Christ: the mockery, crown of thorns, nails, cry of desolation and all that our Savior endured on the Cross. Today we mourn and strictly fast. Great and Holy Friday begins with reading of the Royal Hours (leading up to the Vespers of Friday evening), where the removal of the Body of Christ from the Cross is commemorated. The evening service carries the embroided cloth representation of Christ from the altar around the church - symbolizing the tomb of Christ. The faithful carry lighted candles, representing Christ’s descent into Hades.

02.01.2022 Over the coming two weeks there will be a number of services in commemoration of the Nativity of Jesus. Please refer to the below as a guide. We wish you blessed and safe holidays.

Our focus today is on the Tomb of Christ that represents life and victory. Today our mourning starts to transform into joy. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoke...n it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation (Isaiah 25:8-9). И е а уништи смртта засекогаш. И Господ Бог е а избрише солзата од секое лице - е го симне срамот на Своот народ од целата зема: Господ рече така. И е се рече во оно ден: Ете, Ово е нашиот Бог, во Него се надеваме, То нè спаси; То е Господ во Кого се надевавме! Да Му воскликнуваме и да се веселиме на Неговото спасение. (Исаиа 25:8-9)
