First Time All Night Kiahk Praise

On Friday, December 12th we will be having our first time all night Kiahk Praise ending in Liturgy. This is different than the other times we had Kiahk Praise at night and then the next day we would have Liturgy separately.

 

On December 12th we will start Kiahk Praise at 10pm and go all the way until 4am Saturday morning. Then we will pray Liturgy from 4am - 6am.

We could not do the Kiahk Praises due to the bad weather. We did pray Liturgy the next day at its regular time.

How to Benefit Spiritually from Pascha Week

1. Our behavior inside and outside church:

It is very noticeable that many people during Passion Week act very differently inside church than they do outside church. Inside church… black curtains, sad hymns, solemn readings, and complete concentration on the suffering of Christ. However, outside of church, we often laugh, joke around, socialize, think and talk about many worldly issues. We lose all the spiritual depth that we gained inside church. Let us concentrate our thoughts, conversations, and meditations around the events of this Holy Week and the passion of our Savior.
