On Friday 13 February, from 7pmy we celebrated Vespers followed by a commemoration of the Founders of our church and all our departed relatives and friends.
"As we the faithful observe today the memory of the dead from the beginning, all by name, those who lived with faith and true religion, let us extol the Lord and Savior, entreating Him, that they offer a good defense in the hour of judgment to our God, Who judges the entire earth, and that they come to stand at His right hand in joy, in the portion of the righteous, in the bright inheritance of the saints, and that they be counted worthy of His heavenly kingdom" (from the hymns at Vespers).
