On Lazarus Saturday, April 4, after Divine Liturgy, the Sunday school students and teachers prepared pussy willows and palm leafs for distribution to the parish.  The willows and palms were blessed by Fr. Nikolai at Evening Vespers.

On Palm Sunday, April 5, before Divine Liturgy, the willows and palms were handed out to the faithful of the parish.  Many parishioners’ chose to hold the willows and palms throughout the service.

As we start Holy Week, we wait, with great anticipation, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.
