Sunday morning April 24, Fr Nikolai Breckenridge, with the help of guess priest, Fr. Michael Kon, lead the parishioners of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Bethlehem, PA in an Agape Vespers Service. This service followed the long Saturday Night: Paschal Vigil, Divine Liturgy, Blessing of the baskets and the Agape Meal. During Vespers Fr. Nikolai, blessed the baskets of the parishioners that were not able to attend the Saturday night Service.
Now, when we greet each other, we say:
“CHRIST IS RISEN! ……….. INDEED HE IS RISEN!”
