Icon of the Holy Ascension

The Feast of the Ascension

O Christ God, Thou hast ascended in Glory, granting joy to Thy disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Through the blessing they were assured that Thou art the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world!

With great joy, we greet you on this holy feast! While we are unable to come together to celebrate by sharing the Eucharist, we hope that this feast will provide an opportunity to abide in God’s grace, filled with joy, hope, and love. We encourage you to pray the “reader’s services” for this feast at home, in your icon corner. The services, made available by our diocese, can be downloaded below:

Reader’s Vespers (for the eve, Wednesday May 27)

Reader’s Typika (for the feast, Thursday, May 27)
