Celebrating the Sunday of Orthodoxy & Konizmat - 2026

On March 1st, on the first Sunday of Great Lent, the parish of St. George celebrated Divine Liturgy commemorating the Sunday of Orthodoxy. The first Sunday of Great Lent is called the Sunday of Orthodoxy, (or the Feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy) which is a historical feast commemorating the return of the Icons to the churches in the year 843.  During the Great Entrance at Divine Liturgy, the children and parishioners carried their Konizmat icons, returning the Icons back to the church. Click onto the following link to learn about the Albanian tradition of Konizmat. Below please find a few photos from the day.
