Saints Peter and Paul. The Holy Apostles / June 29
On a single day, the memory of the sufferings of both these Apostles Sts. Peter and Paul is celebrated on June 29th. They suffered martyrdom on separate days, but by the spirit and the closeness of their suffering they constitute one. Peter went first, and Paul followed soon after him.

Saint George Feast Day - May 3rd, 2021
The Feast of St. George is held on Bright Monday, May 3rd for 2021. When April 23rd coincides with Great Lent or Holy Week, the Feast is postponed to the Monday after Pascha. The reason is simple: Holy Week and Lent are periods of mourning. As the deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, As the healer of the infirm, and the champion of kings: Victorious Great Martyr George, intercede to Christ our God For our souls’ salvation!

Sunday of Orthodoxy
What better way to begin the journey of Great Lent than to celebrate our faith and to remember that we are not alone. The Sunday of Orthodoxy allows us to celebrate the victory of the true Faith over iconoclasm. We also rejoice in the blessing of being able to be surrounded by visible reminders of the Church Triumphant: those who have goneon before us, enduring me race well until the end; who continue to intercede on our behalf.
