Wow! What a beautifully decorated church posted by @_saintgeorge ! Blessed Feast everyone! ☦️☦️ By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, You did confirm the universal resurrection, O Christ God! Like the children with the palms of victory, we cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death: Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!

You have such a gift @erendruda Sending love to all the #Orthodox women out there beautifying our churches in preparation for tonight/tomorrows services and for feasts throughout the year. We can’t wait to see everyone’s pascha photos! We’d like to share some tomorrow and throughout next week. Tag us @orthodox.women

It’s hard to believe but for us new calendar people, we are just 3 Sundays away from Lent. aside from attending the services do you have anything you do to prepare? I saw @kayla_grieco shared in her stories a favorite devotional for studying and journaling. And I know it’s not the most profound tradition but I like to get a new dark colored dress so it’s one less thing to worry about, not trying to find something to wear each service that is. It’s nice only have one dress to keep track of and keep cleaned.

Creating these Pascha basket covers has brought me so much joy! I have loved getting to pray for the people I make them for, to pray blessing and goodness and joy over all their Paschas to come! I have listed my last cover on my Etsy shop, as I likely won’t have time to make any more before Pascha. #orthodoxwomen #astillsmallpoint #journeytopascha

“Possibly a contentious unbeliever will maintain that we worshiping images in our churches are convicted of praying to lifeless idols. Far be it from us to do this. Faith makes Christians, and God, who cannot deceive, works miracles. We do not rest contented with mere colouring. With the material picture before our eyes we see the invisible God through the visible representation, and glorify Him as if present, not as a God without reality, but as a God who is the essence of being. Nor are the saints whom we glorify fictitious. They are in being, and are living with God; and their spirits being holy, the help, by the power of God, those who deserve and need their assistance.” + St. John of Damascus

I made this for my sweetest friend @youngbloodkindofcrazy as a Pascha gift. It was extremely difficult to keep a secret! I two-day shipped it to NY and can now finally share it #orthodoxwomen #journeytopascha

Χριστός ανέστη! Christ is Risen! #holyweek #goarch #myocn #journeytopascha

Pascha aftermath! Christ is risen and so are my children already. (H\t Reddit ) I left my phone in the car last night and simply soaked in the service. We’re running on 4 hours sleep and the joy of the Resurrection. Aidan is living the dream with chocolate bunnies and a real censor! May your coffee be creamy today!!! Blessed Feast!! #orthodoxpascha #journeytopascha #pascha #paschamorning #orthodoxkids #orthodoxeaster #christisrisen #brightweek #faithandfamily

✨Holy Thursday✨ “Saturday is prosphora baking day It has been years in the process, learning to live in the seasons of the church. Giving up long leisurely brunches for Sunday morning fasts, taking Saturday for quiet spiritual contemplation instead of busy errands and catching up around the house...it’s a rhythm that is vastly different from all the warm memories of my own childhood. But in these years I have gained so much, in tradition and in peace, and hopefully my children have all those same warm feelings about all these rhythms that were new to me ” . . . . : @kyriemead . . . .
