The Season We Are In
A NEW CHURCH YEAR
September marks the beginning of a new year in the life of the Orthodox Church. Beginning September 1, we enter another cycle of feasts, fasts, prayer, and worship through which the Church draws us more deeply into the life of Christ.
The month begins with two great feasts: the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos on September 8 and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14. As a new Church year begins, we are invited to renew our prayer, participate more fully in the life of the Church, and seek to follow Christ more faithfully in the year ahead.
OUR PRIEST
In the Orthodox Church, we find more than just beautiful aesthetics and profound theology; we find co-strugglers in the spiritual life. It is when we bear one another's burdens in love that we truly learn to see our neighbor the way Christ sees them.
