Table reservations can be made on Sundays with Gina Kazanjian. Please remember you will need to bring your own food, drinks, paper goods, utensils, tablecloths, etc., and everyone will need to clean up their area when done. Tables and seating will be provided.

 

Blessing of the Paschal Food Baskets

Blessing of the Food Baskets Blessing of the Food baskets is a centuries old tradition in which people from all Orthodox backgrounds participate. The baskets are filled with foods that are used to break the fast: eggs, cheese, meats, and any other festive items to celebrate the Resurrection. A table will be located outside the North door of the church for your baskets. The baskets will be blessed following our midnight Resurrection service.
