Holy Ascension comes 40 days after Pascha. We will have the festal vigil Wednesday on May 21 and Liturgy on Thursday, May 22. For the time between Ascension and Pentecost, we start our prayers with "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal" as we await the return of "O Heavenly king" at Pentecost. 

 

Pentecost comes 50 days after Pascha. It is customary to serve a universal commemoration of the departed, scheduled for Friday, May 29. On Saturday, May 30, there will be a baptism (Craig) and a chrismation (Brandon) at 1:00 PM. The festal vigil will be celebrated at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Boston.
