St. Gregory Palamas

"Luminary of Orthodoxy, pillar of the Church and teacher,
the ideal of monks and invincible champion of theologians,
Wonderworker Gregory, the boast of Thessaloniki, preacher of grace:
entreat without ceasing that our souls may be saved."
     - Apolytikion of St. Gregory Palamas

Wishing you a blessed Lenten Journey!

DESCRIPTION OF FEAST: In Orthodox Christianity, each Sunday within Great Lent is dedicated to the memory of a specific saint or event. In addition to the fasting and prayer that accompanies this time of year, these weekly themes assist the faithful in their Lenten journey toward Holy Week and Pascha. On the Second Sunday in Great Lent we remember our holy father among the saints, St. Gregory Palamas. He lived in the 14th Century, and he taught that through strict prayer and fasting, anyone can become a participant in the uncreated light of God's divine glory.
