Don’t Forget—We are Receiving a Relic of Saint Basil!

Apr 04, 2009 by Fr Luke Palumbis

The celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection is the greatest celebration of the Church; therefore, as we have been preparing through the Triodion Period, and Great Lent, perhaps we have not been thinking about the monumental blessing being bestowed upon the Archdiocese, the Metropolis of San Francisco, and the Parish of Saint Basil; we are receiving a relic of Saint Basil the Great!  Four days of events will take place in celebration of this historic event, which brings a living piece of Christian History to Stockton,CA.  Lectures offered by contemporary Orthodox Theologians, a Byzantine Music Concert, Akathist to Saint Basil the Great service, and multiple receptions, are just a few of the offers that the Saint Basil community will extend to all in celebration of this historic event.  Keep your eyes and ears open for further developments in the scheduling of this chapter in Christian History!
