As we enter the final week of our Lenten journey, we begin by taking part in the celebration of Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem.

The fifth Sunday of Great Lent, and the story of St. Mary of Egypt, gives us another reminder of the importance of seeking repentance.

On this Sunday, churches offer for veneration the icon of the Ladder of Divine Ascent, which shows people at all stages of the ladder being pulled off by demons.

When we cross ourselves and honor the Cross on the Third Sunday of Lent, we proclaim our faith as Orthodox Christians.

Saint Gregory Palamas (+1396) was a champion of Hesychasm, the silent prayer, the Prayer of the Heart, the Jesus Prayer.

The Triumph of Orthodoxy commemorates the restoration of icons as essential to Orthodox Christian biblical worship.

Once more, Great and Holy Lent is upon us, brothers and sisters, and with it comes a call to repentance before our all-good and loving Creator.
