Christ is risen! Truly, He Is Risen!
Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη!

Sunday of the Samaritan Woman

Sunday of the Blind Man - May 20

Apolytikion
Christ is risen from the dead,
by death hath He trampled down death,
and on those in the graves
hath He bestowed life.

Kontakion
I come to You, O Christ,
as the man blind from birth.
With the eyes of my soul blinded,
I cry out to You in repentance,
"You are the resplendent Light
of those in darkness.".

  • Reception of Holy Communion:
    As is well known, the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist was instituted by the Lord. From the earliest time, the apostolic Christians celebrated this ritual meal in remembrance of the Lord, and from the beginning, Christians regarded the consecrated bread and wine as the very Body and Blood of Christ, and continue to do so to this day. Hence, the reception of the Holy Eucharist is as it has always been, that is, for Baptized and prepared Orthodox Christians only. So, while all are welcome to worship with us – and we are delighted to have guests – the reception of the Holy Eucharist is for Orthodox believers alone. As it was in the Early Church, so it is to this day.
