New Gracanica Monastery celebrates one of its best Slavas
24. October 2012 - 10:46An overwhelming crowd of faithful attended the Krsna Slava of the Monastery of New Gracanica in Third Lake, IL on Sunday, October 14th. Considering the weather over the weekend – storms, wind and a thunderous downpour of rain – it was an unexpected joy and celebration! It is to the Most Holy Mother of God, our Patron, that we owe our gratitude.
The feast commemorates the event in 903 when during the siege of Constantinople worried citizens gathered in the Church of St. Mary of Blachernae, imploring the Theotokos’ intercession in the face of impending danger from invaders. Not only did the Mother of God respond, but she appeared and held her veil over the faithful as a sign of protection from all visible and invisible enemies. From that moment on, people knew they could turn to her.
