Glory to Jesus Christ!

Our brethren in the Orthodox Church and those Byzantine Catholics who still observe the Orthodox Pasachalion have entered into The Most Holy Passion Week. As I am Orthodox, I am entering into the Passion this week of our Lord; I ask for you to forgive me if I have offended you by what I have written or communicated. Have mercy on me a sinner. I look forward to returning to the Forum after the celebration of the Feasts of Feasts.

Pray that our brethren, Orthodox and Catholic in the Holy Land will be able to attend the services of Passion Week and Pascha in peace and safety.

Your brother in Christ,
Thomas

May God forgive you.

I look forward in returning to the Forum after feasting as well. With the Feast comes feasting. Yummy!

May God forgive you, and may He enrich you by the celebration of these days filled with grace. May He allow Christians in the Holy Land the chance to celebrate the memory of those salvific events which make their soil holy.

On a lighter note, I'm jealous of you guys...I want to do Holy Week again! I can't get to church during the week, and perhaps it's liturgically incorrect to do the week all over again, but I'm having fun listening and watching webcasts of services from some GOA churches, even if it is half (or more, sometimes :p ) in Greek. So even if I can't do the week again for real, at least there's always the internet.

You can have a virtual Holy Week. So you will virtually be on the Old calendar.

Ain't technology grand, Daniil? I've unwittingly become an e-oldcalendarist for the week.
