The spirit of Holy Pentecost leads us to another feast and fast of the church. The feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is celebrated on June 29th. From the 4th Century on, the Church has celebrated this feast which is spiritually linked with Holy Pentecost. It stands as the witness of the Apostles immediate fruit at the descent of the Holy Spirit when it came upon them. The Feast is preceded by a fasting period called Saints Peter and Paul Fast.” The fast is different from year to year since it always begins on the Monday following the first Sunday after Pentecost (All Saints' Sunday). The fast lasts just one day this year, Monday, June 28th, the Eve of the Feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. To commemorate the great Peter and Paul, we will offer Great Vespers with Litiya for the feast on Monday, June 28th at 7:00 p.m. and Divine Liturgy on Tuesday, June 29th at 9:30 a.m.
