The relics that were placed in the Altar table were those of St. George, St. Panteleimon, and the Holy Martyrs/Monks of St. Savas Monastery on Mt. Athos. What Blessings !

Consecration of our Church
Our family had the lovely Blessing of attending the Consecration of our Church ! What a great experience and probably one that we will not have the honor of seeing again. The services started Friday night with the Arrival of the Relics, Procession into the Church and Vespers. Saturday morning started with the Consecration services and Liturgy. It was beautiful. My husband served in the altar and said it was such an honor to witness something so awesome ! My little girl was one of the Myrophores and I was so proud of how well she did !

Only now that I see this picture do I realize I've met you in real life!
