The Veneration of the Cross, 3rd Sunday of Great Lent
Veneration of the Cross, 3rd Sunday of Great Lent

In the middle of Great Lent, the Holy Church provides the faithful with inspiration to continue with our Lenten struggle and reminds us of what lays ahead, the Holy Passion of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

On the eve of Sunday, March 12 (February 27 O.S.), Sunday of the Veneration of the Cross, during the All-Night Vigil, a cross containing a relic of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, richly decorated with flowers, was brought out of the altar by the abbot of the monastery, Archimandrite Luke, attended by monastery clergy, for veneration by the faithful, this Sunday greatly increased in number by numerous pilgrims from Serbian Orthodox parishes.  The procession was attended by the peeling of the church bells and accompanied by hymns.
