St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral hosts WOCA Vespers - 03/08/09
Ushering in the season of Great Lent, we celebrated the Sunday of Orthodoxy at St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral
in Seattle's Capitol Hill District. Local clergy and faithful from the
Greater Seattle and Puget Sound area joined together celebrating the Sunday of Orthodoxy
Vespers. Upon entering the Cathedral, local clergy and faithful
venerated Icons and relics of Saints arranged in a semi-circular
fashion beneath the Cathedral's grand chandelier. The service wasn't
complete without Clergy and Faithful processing round St Nicholas
Cathedral amidst Seattle's skies mixed with sunlight and later with a
bit of hail and snowflakes. Vespers concluded with a short homily
delivered by Fr John Strikland of St Katherines Mission (OCA) of
Kirkland in Seattle's Eastside.
Join us this coming Sunday, March 15th for WOCA Vespers at Holy Apostles Church in Shoreline!!
