The Orthodox Christian Clergy Association of Northwest Indiana (OCANWI) is sponsoring the “Sunday of Orthodoxy Pan-Orthodox Vespers” taking place Sunday evening, March 1 at 6:00 p.m.
Clergy from St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church will be participating in the services along with Clergy from Orthodox Churches from throughout the Northwest Indiana area. Members of St. Sava Church, Orthodox Faithful from throughout the region, and visitors are all encouraged to attend.
A reception will take place following the Vesper Service and presentation of the Holy Icons.
The service will take place at Sts. Peter and Paul Macedonian Orthodox Cathedral, 9660 Broadway, Crown Point, Indiana.
The Sunday of Orthodoxy (also knowns as the Triumph of Orthodoxy or the Feast of Orthodoxy ) is a unique historical event that is celebrated on the first Sunday of Great Lent (six Sundays before Pascha) in the liturgical calendar of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Feast is kept in memory of the final defeat of Iconoclasm, a time when icons were banned in churches, and the restoration of the icons to the church.
