Distinguished Patristics scholar and Orthodox theologian Fr Andrew Louth visited Holy Myrrhbearers Orthodox Mission in Toronto, concelebrating and preaching at the Divine Liturgy for the Fifth Sunday of Pascha, the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman.

Fr Andrew joined the parishioners of the mission along with a visiting youth group from St John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Oshawa, for a lunch after the service.

Christ is risen! On the third Sunday of Pascha we celebrate the Myrrhbearing Women, those women who left everything and followed Jesus Christ, remaining ever-faithful to their Teacher.

This Sunday Saints Peter and Saint Paul Sobor in Montréal was filled with a very lighthearted and joyful ambiance: red festive vestments of the priests, plenty of flowers, bright sunlight making its way through the stained-glass windows, everything glorified the heroic deeds of the Myrrhbearing Women.

On the day that the Church traditionally recived catecumens into the Church, Great and Holy Saturday, the parish of St. Nicholas in Narol two families (eight people) through the sacrament of Bapstim (with the assistance of the Priest Matthew Beynon from Holy Trinity Sobor).

It was a joyous start to the feast of Pascha, that was shared with all those who had attended, especially the children of the community.
