Blessed feast! We began the morning celebrating Palm Sunday, the public celebration of the arrival of the Messiah and ended the day with Bridegroom Matins, the mourning of His coming crucifixion. A day so filled with such opposing feelings. .
.
Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight, And blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching, And again unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, Lest you be given up to death and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. But rouse yourself crying: Holy, Holy, Holy, are You, O our God!
.
Through the prayers of the holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy upon us and save us. .

Brand new in the Marketplace....beautiful, unique enamel mugs by @abigail.art.87416! All three of us are just in love with how these mugs turned out. Their durability makes them perfect for travel, camping, and kids! Find them in the Marketplace section of our website! ✝️☦️ Which cross is your favorite? Why? Mine (Marian’s) is the St Olga’s cross. When I was a camper many years ago at @theantiochianvillage I got a St Olga’s cross in their bookstore and it remains my favorite— both a beautiful cross to wear and also a symbol of the time of my life when the Faith began to come alive to me. .

Blessed Holy Thursday to all of you! We dyed our eggs after Liturgy this morning and are now heading to the monastery for yet another powerful Holy Week service. ❤️☦️ I love this week and the anticipation that builds as we get closer and closer to proclaiming Christ is Risen!! -
According to tradition, during a dinner with the emperor Tiberius Caesar, Mary Magdalene was speaking about Christ's Resurrection. Caesar scoffed at her, saying that a man could rise from the dead no more than the egg in her hand could turn red. Immediately, the egg turned red. Because of this, icons of Mary Magdalene sometimes depict her holding a red egg. This is why Orthodox Christians dye their eggs red for Pascha—the new Passover.
Nearly one year ago Back when Adelaide was a tiny secret, hidden inside my tummy. This was taken just after church by my lovely @alexiselmassih and I love Elizabeth’s grumpy face Poor clergy kids- they have to be in church for hours and usually no nap on Sundays. She’s a trooper though! .

How is lent going for you all? (Those who are participating that is!) We’ve had a mixed bag- making strides to foster prayer, repentance, and humility, and then failing miserably and having to ask for forgiveness (a lot)! But speaking with my priest yesterday he reminded me that this is an opportunity for us to make a change. And oh how thankful I am for those chances to “begin again”. What have you been learning about yourself this season? Do share! #blessedlent #seminarylife #beautywillsavetheworld #orthodoxchristian
