Today is the beginning of our salvation, the revelation of the eternal mystery! The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin, as Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: Hail, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with You!
– Troparion of the feast, in the fourth tone
With great joy, we greet you on this holy feast! We hope that this feast will provide an opportunity to abide in God’s grace, filled with joy, hope, and love. Let us be reassured, knowing that this feast day announces the Good News of Christ’s coming into the flesh, and that by His Resurrection, the created order, which was fallen, is made anew.
We will celebrate this feast with a Festal Vesperal Liturgy on Wednesday, March 25, at 7:00 PM.
Please note: there will be no agape afterwards. However, anyone who is interested is welcome to join Fr. John at the Commack Diner after the service.
