Holy Week and Easter 2012

Feast of Theophany

Below is a schedule of Theophany services taking place this Thursday, January 19, at St. Onuphrius Church inside the Canadian Museum of Civilization. This little Ukrainian Catholic Church, transplanted here from Alberta, is a little gem and it is a real privilege to be able to use it. The Ottawa River with Parliament Hill on the other side is a beautiful backdrop for the traditional outdoor water blessing that takes place on this feast of Christ’s Baptism. Note that museum admission is free on Thursday. Join us, and dress warmly!

The schedule is as follows:

5:00 pm Vespers at Saint Onuphrius Church, Canadian Museum of Civilization
6:00 pm Procession
6:15 pm Great Blessing of the Waters (held outdoors by the Ottawa River)
7:00 pm Hot cider

For further information about this event, feel free to contact the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies at 613-236-1393, extension 2651.
