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.

On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Saturdays of Lent we commemorate all those who have departed this life in the faith of Christ. We especially remember our relatives and loved ones, and we offer a memorial for their peaceful rest.
