Why This Night Matters

✝️

The Victory of Life

Easter is not simply an ancient tradition. It is the proclamation that on this night, death was defeated — once and for all. The tomb was empty. Christ is alive. And this changes everything.

🕯️

An Open Invitation

Whether you are Orthodox, Christian of another tradition, or simply curious — you are welcome. Come with a candle. Come with your questions. Come with your heart.

Orthodox Church

Our parish follows the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The Paschal service is sung in Church Slavonic and includes the Midnight Office, the Procession, Matins, and Divine Liturgy.
