Despite these teachings about icons, the iconoclasts began to trouble the Church again. A Regional Synod was called in Constantinople in 843 AD to bring peace to the Church. The veneration of icons was solemnly proclaimed at St. Sophia’s Cathedral. Monks and clergy came in procession and restored the icons to their rightful places. This occurred on March 11, 843 (which that year was the First Sunday of Lent). The Synod decreed that a perpetual feast on the anniversary of that day should be observed each year on the First Sunday of Great Lent. The day was called “Triumph of Orthodoxy.” Since that time, this event is commemorated yearly with a special service on the first Sunday of Lent, the “Sunday of Orthodoxy”.

The Flower of the Month for March are Daffodils, sometimes called Jonquils or Narcissus. Because they often bloom in early spring, they symbolize new birth, beginnings, happiness and joy.
