In addition to the twelve major feast days, the Orthodox Church celebrates a number of other days with special liturgical and spiritual solemnity. First among the feasts universally celebrated by the Orthodox are those of Saint John the Baptist of whom Christ has said that “among those born of women there has arisen none greater” (Mt 11.11; Lk 7.28). St. John the Baptist met a tragic end. In commemoration of this event, we will offer Great Vespers August 28th at 7:00 p.m. and then on the Day of his Beheading, August 29th, Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. Just a reminder the Holy Church has decreed the Feast of the Beheading a day of strict fasting.
