On behalf of our entire staff we want to wish each of you a wonderful holiday – whether you are celebrating the Festival of Passover or the culmination of the Lenten season with the celebration of Good Friday and Easter - we wish you and your families a safe, happy and blessed holiday…
Passover will begin tonight at Sunset, Friday, April 6th and continue for 8 days until next Friday at sunset, April 13th. The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, of the Hebrew month of Nissan, to commemorate the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
Easter… For Christians throughout the world, the Easter Holiday is a culmination of the 40 day Lenten period which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.. Today, April 6th, Friday before Easter, is the commemoration of the Crucifixion of Our Lord, and Easter Sunday celebrates the Lords resurrection. This year Lent Began on Wednesday February 22nd and Holy week will culminate this last week of Lent on Sunday April 8th with the celebration of Easter.
In the Greek Orthodox Church, Easter will be celebrated next Sunday, April 15th
