Holy Friday is the day that changed the world!

The Kondakion for the Liturgy helps us to understand the divine drama of the day: “Come, let us praise him who was crucified for us, for when Mary saw him hanging on the cross, she exclaimed: Though you endure the cross, still are you my son and my God.”

At 7:00 p.m. tonight, we will have the Liturgy of Presanctifed Gifts.
