GRAVE BLESSINGS ON ST. THOMAS SUNDAY....

Apr 23, 2017

Grave blessings were held at East Ridgelawn Cemetery on St. Thomas Sunday.  A Panikhida was held in the chapel on the grounds for all those who were remembered by their families and friends; and following the service, individual graves were blessed.  On this lovely Sunday afternoon it was fitting that we visit and pray for all those dear to us who had fallen asleep in the Lord.  Pictures follow.

5:00 PM - Great Vespers

Appearing to the Myrrh-bearing Women at the tomb, the Angel exclaimed:  “Myrrh is meet for the dead;  but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption.  So proclaim: ‘The Lord is risen, granting the world great mercy.’”
