TRIODION THROUGH PENTECOST
In order to better understand the full Orthodox cycle of the "Easter" season, we
will be offering a series of articles (descriptions) taken from the Archdiocese
website explaining the meaning behind the dedicated services to various saints
and/or parables. We will begin in this issue with the Triodion, which
begins on February 8th and will end in coming issues with Pentecost
on June 7th. If you take the time to read these articles you will
gain a better understanding and insight of our faith. ...Editor
