the great lent is begining on 7th February, 2005 for 40+10 days. The last sunday was the rememberance of the departed priests and this Sunday is the rememberance of all the departed ones. The Orthodox Church remembering all the departed ones as the departed ones are living with us and their teachings and prayer are giving strength to us to fight against the devil and to tight the grip of the true faith.
The Bible teaches us to remember those who teach the true faith to you and that is the basic of the Orthodox Church for remembering the departed ones and the Saints.
Wishing you all the best before you entering to the Great lent.
Charly V. Padanilam,
Malankara Orthodox Syrian church memeber.
