Meeting of the Lord: Blessing of Candles after Liturgy

Liturgy · February 2, 2025

Saints Peter & Paul Orthodox Cathedral, 109 Grand Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302

This Sunday is both Zacchaeus Sunday and the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple. Zacchaeus Sunday tells us that Lent is approaching, and Meeting of the Lord means we will bless candles after Liturgy.
