Services of Holy Week and Pascha

The Orthodox Christian Church holds a more ancient calculation of the Pascha (Easter) date laid out in 325 AD by the Holy Fathers of Nicaea (the same Fathers that gave us the canon of the Holy Bible, and the Nicene Creed). Sometimes our Pascha is the same as everyone else’s, but many time is lands on a different date. This year, the date is a week off of from the West, falling on April 16th. Below is our Holy Week schedule and we encourage you to please come and see how ancient Christians celebrated Christ’s resurrection, an event that changed the course of the world!
