Pre-Sanctified Liturgy (North Hills Pan-Orthodox) Hosted by Holy Trinity Church

Wed 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

There are now three Orthodox Christian parishes in our North Hills neighborhood, growing the presence of Orthodox Christianity together: Holy Trinity, (Greek Orthodox Archdiocese), St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Orthodox Church of America) and St. John the Baptist (Carpatho-Russian Diocese). In the desire to provide a greater fellowship among our parishes and communities, we will be sharing in three Wednesday Presanctified Liturgies this Lent. The dates and locations are Mar. 12 (St. Alexander, 7:00pm); Mar. 19 (St. John, 6:00pm); and Mar. 26 (Holy Trinity, 6:30pm) and . All our parishioners are invited to attend all the services. What a wonderful way to build Orthodox fellowship and a stronger connection among our North Hills sister parishes. Each service will be followed by Lenten fellowship.

Service of Salutations to the Theotokos (Note: Moved to HT)

Fri 6:30 pm - 7:45 pm

The Akathist Hymn is a beautiful treasure of theological poetry set to music in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos. Its main hymn, “O Champion General” (“Ti Ipermacho“) commemorates the rescue of the Byzantine imperial city of Constantinople from attack, which the faithful attributed to the intercessions of the Mother of God. The service is offered in two forms. The first four Fridays each contain only one segment of the larger poem and are called “Salutations,” from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel to the Theotokos. The “Akathist Hymn” refers to the entire service with all the stanzas and is offered on the fifth Friday of Lent.
