On Friday 14 February and Saturday 15 February we had services for the Great Feast of the Meeting of the Lord.  All-night Vigil with the blessing of wheat, wine, oil and five loaves was served on Friday evening and the Hours and Divine Liturgy were served on Saturday morning.  At Divine Liturgy prayers were offered for Orthodox unity, peace in Ukraine, and peace in the Holy Land, and there was a blessing of fruit and of candles.  Following Divine Liturgy our parish rector spoke briefly about the significance of the feast-day and about four ever-memorable departed clergymen of our Diocese: Archbishop Paul (Pavlov) (+15 February 1995, thirty years ago to the day), Archpriest Nicholas Grant (+14 February 1995), Protodeacon Vasily Hadarin (+13 February 2021), and Protodeacon Constantine Moshegov (+ 30 January 2022; ordained deacon 15 February 2007, 18 years ago to the day).   A memorial litia was then served for them.  Eternal memory!
