Lazarus Saturday Divine Liturgy

On Lazarus Saturday, eight days before Pascha, we celebrate the resurrection of Lazarus the friend of Christ. In this, the Lord gave a sign of His own Resurrection as He demonstrated His power over death.

Canon of Lazarus

On the Eve of Lazarus Saturday, we sing the ancient Canon of the Raising of Lazarus at Small Compline.

Presanctified Divine Liturgy

The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is a service for the distribution of Holy Communion on the weekdays of Lent. Because Lent is a season of fasting and repentance, and the regular Divine Liturgy has a joyful character not in keeping with these seasonal themes, the more somber Presanctified Liturgy is offered on weekday evenings, or sometimes in the morning.

Great Compline

Great Compline is the penitential night office of the Orthodox Church. Filled with Psalms and beautiful hymns, it is a beloved service of the Lenten season.

Great Canon of Saint Andrew

The fifth Thursday of Lent is dedicated to this 7th century penitential masterpiece written by Saint Andrew of Crete. Throughout its text, we receive countless images and lessons of repentance from the Old and New Testaments. We also hear the life of Saint Mary of Egypt, who is one of the greatest models of repentance in Christian history.
