April 2008

Our youth groups participated in many activities in preparation for the Anastasi starting by folding palms and preparing candles on Lazarus Saturday.

On Palm Sunday, the Sunday School students laid palms as Fr. Jim and Fr. David brought out the Offering during the Great Entrance.  Following the service, our GOYAns sponsored the traditional Plaki Luncheon.  During the Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, and Holy Tuesday services, our GOYAns read the evening Psalms.

In preparation for Good Friday, the ladies helped decorate the Epitafios.

And our young ladies were myrrofores during the Good Friday services, placing rose petals on the Epitafios.

To end the week, our GOYAns sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt following the Agape service for children 10 and under.
