Lebanon Celebrates 102nd Slava

On April 15, 2018 and the day when our Church celebrates the Sunday of St Thomas (Antipascha), our Parish Church of the Holy Resurrection of Christ in Lebanon, PA, celebrated its 102 Annual Slava.

We were blessed to have in our midst our Bishop and Father, His Grace Irinej, who served the Divine Hierarchical Liturgy with our parish priest presbyter Borjan Vitanov, the V. Rev Father Christopher Rocknage, the parish priest from St. Nicholas in Steelton with his parishioners who sung during the service and deacon Milos Zdralich.

After cutting of the Slavski Kolach, His Grace, Irinej, blessed our newly renovated Church Hall and the dinner followed. Since we are known as a small parish, through the prayers and fatherly care of our Bishop Irinej, after many years, we are witnessing a spiritual advancement and growth in faith. May this modest celebration of our 102nd Slava, be a momentum, where gathered together around the Chalice of Christ and our Bishop, we will continue to build ourselves as a growing part of the Mystical Body of Christ that is His Church, by witnessing our Faith with love in action and never-ending singing of the Resurrection hymn to the world that: Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death with death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!
