Holy Week

As it is Orthodox Holy Week this week, I won't be updating that much unless I feel really driven to do so. Right now is the time for me to focus on prayer and fasting and preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. It will be an interesting Holy Week, not able to attend any of the daily services. Thanks be to God for churches and monasteries streaming the services. My church is also allowing signups to take Holy Communion in small groups to comply with the law, and I've signed up for Thursday - in following the example of St. Mary of Egypt.

I pray that this Holy Week will be blessed for all, and that we will all have a joyous Pascha on Sunday!
