April 11-12, 2009 - On Lazarus Saturday, after the Divine Liturgy, the faithful, and especially the children, made a procession from the church to the lake, as is the custom in New Gracanica, to have the willow branches blessed there. After the willow branches were blessed and distributed to all, the procession was made back to the church accompanied by singing of the tropar and jingling of bells.
After the conclusion of the service and lunch, the children of our church engaged in decoration of pysanky - easter eggs. We thank the Fitza family and others who contributed in the pysanka workshop and in supplying the willow branches for Saturday. Seeing how well the workshop was received by all, we hope that this will remain a yearly tradition in our community.
On Palm Sunday, after Divine Liturgy and lenten lunch, the egg decoration was brought to conclusion. Please click on the last picture to see some finer products of this year's pysanka workshop.
