On Sunday, Jan 11th, St. George parish conducted the Great Blessing of Water after the celebration of Divine Liturgy for the Feast of Theophany (this feast is normally celebrated on Jan 6th, but was being transferred to Sunday, Jan 11th).
The Troparian for this feast day is: When You, O Lord were baptized in the Jordan / The worship of the Trinity was made manifest / For the voice of the Father bore witness to You / And called You His beloved Son. / And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, / Confirmed the truthfulness of His word. / O Christ, our God, You have revealed Yourself / And have enlightened the world, glory to You!
Below please find a few photos.
