MARCH 25, DOUBLE CELEBRATION

"Today is the day of our salvation, the chapter...", the Apolytikion, which when we hear it, we remember the Virgin Mary, who at a young and tender age heard the message brought to her by the Angel and accepted it. The Feast of the Annunciation, of joy and anticipation for what is to come.

On the same day, with it, hand in hand, the other feast, the anniversary of the Greek Revolution. "How long will we young men live in the straits?....." wondered those who had been enslaved for years, as the hero poet Rigas Feraios had written. How long would the children go to the monasteries/schools at night by moonlight to learn letters?

It is brought to the attention of our parishioners that our Community will celebrate this Double Anniversary on Sunday, March 30, 2025 in our Holy Church. After the Solemn Divine Liturgy and the Doxology, and as every year, students of our Greek School will attend to honor this glorious day that is so closely tied to our tradition.

As always, a treat will follow.

Happy Birthday
