Best wishes to all those who
commemorate Holy Friday.
Holy Friday on April 6th, commemorates the passion of Jesus Christ. The Eastern churches focus
on the burial.
Many of the traditions that bond generations together in the Orthodox tradition occur during the
celebration of Easter.
One of the most prominent rituals of the Orthodox Easter is the forty-day Lenten fast, where no meat or dairy is eaten. The fast is typically broken on Sunday morning at 1 or 2 a.m. following the evening Church service where candles are lit and a celebratory hymn is sung in the honour of the resurrection of Christ.
To all our families who celebrate Easter in the Orthodox tradition, we would like to wish you a very happy celebration.
