Sunday of Orthodoxy

Posted in St. Aidan Community | Tagged , - by Rebecca

We have just completed the 1st week of Great Lent and this Sunday will be celebrating the 1st Sunday in Great Lent, the “Sunday of Orthodoxy” with an icon procession around the church!

This celebration of the Triumph of Orthodoxy when the Icon’s were completely restored dates back to 843, so we have been celebrating this for over 1200 years! To put is quite simply, an icon of Christ simply affirms His full humanity and divinity, and icons of the saints simply demonstrate the degree to which we humans are capable of cooperating with Christ and being transformed into His image! All icons are essentially demonstrating the salvific glory of the transformation we are offered in Christ!
