Feast Day “Stand-up Centerpieces”
For Orthodox Christians, commemorating a feast means being present to the event, as it is happening “today.” The feasts are invitations to reflect on our own faith, for example, the acclamation of Christ as king recalled at the feast of the Entrance of our Lord into
Jerusalem, calls us to reflect on whether He is indeed our king and our God. Church services will be scheduled for each feast. To supplement the services, you may choose to download a centerpiece, below, and recite the troparion for the feast as part of prayers before meals, or in the morning and evening. In addition, the centerpieces have a line-art icon and explanation of the feast.
