Easter - 05/05/24

Student participation in the services and events of Holy Week and Pascha was at an all-time high, as close to 25 undergraduates and grad students were actively involved.. Some served in the altar, some sang in the choir, others read from the 15 prophesies at Saturday’s Liturgy.  Others read excerpts from the Paschal Gospel which totalled 16 foreign languages.  And everyone joined in the Paschal procession and then the blessing of Easter baskets after liturgy.  One generous family prepared Paschal food for all the students, and the meal lasted until 4:00 !  It must be mentioned that all the services and festivities were carried out peacefully, despite the fact that our Chapel in Murray-Dodge was surrounded all week by student protests.
