Question

The Divine Liturgy

Answer

As our wedding day falls on a Sunday, the day will begin with the Orthros at 9 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10 a.m. The Divine Liturgy is the regular Sunday worship service of the faithful where we partake of the sacrament of Holy Communion and is an important part of our faith and our preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage. All family and friends are warmly invited to attend, whether you are Orthodox or simply interested in sharing this meaningful part of our day. Attendance at the Divine Liturgy is completely optional, and guests are welcome to join us for the wedding ceremony and reception even if they are unable to attend the morning service. We would be honored to have you worship and celebrate with us.
