As we stand on the threshold of Holy Week, let us ready our hearts and minds for the magnificent Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the cherished Orthodox tradition, this week—known as Passion Week or Holy Week (In Serbian: Велика Недеља или Страсна Седмица)—carries profound significance, marking the culmination of Christ’s earthly journey.
Each day of Holy Week unfolds with its poignant theme, guiding us through moments of reflection and spiritual growth. From the stark condemnation of the sterile fig tree on Monday to the vigilant waiting of the wise virgins on Tuesday and the profound repentance of the fallen woman on Wednesday, we are called to delve into these timeless lessons through our liturgical services and sacred readings.
At St. George Serbian Orthodox Parish in Schererville, IN, we’ve meticulously crafted a schedule of services to ensure your seamless participation in this sacred journey. Furthermore, please note that the Holy Unction service will be conducted at St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church in Lansing, IL.
Let us come together in faith, immersing ourselves in Holy Week’s profound symbolism and grace. Let us commemorate Christ’s triumphant entry, His ultimate sacrifice, and the following glorious Resurrection. May this holy season infuse us with joy and renew our spiritual strength as we walk this path of faith together.
Attached is the detailed schedule of Holy Week services. We eagerly anticipate your presence, as your participation is vital to our collective journey of faith.
With abundant blessings and heartfelt prayers,
Fr. Radovan and the Members of the Church Executive Board
