Happy New Year to our parishioners and all the people!

On January, 1, 2017, the first liturgy of the new year (according to Gregorian calendar) took place at the church of Christ the Saviour. Not many people attended the service because a lot were away or could not come due to the bad weather. After the liturgy a prayer service “For the beginning of a new year” was held. At the beginning of this service, everyone present at the church lit candles which were brought from Jerusalem by pilgrims. As usual, after the service everyone joined a shared lunch in the church hall. May God grant us strength and patience in the new year!
