On March 30, parishioners from neighboring Orthodox churches gathered at St. John's to celebrate the Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts. The following pictures are views of the event.
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.’”
