2023 JOURNEY TO PASCHA

Glory to God for all things!  We are thankful to offer this chart each year. It is lovingly created by Fr. Jonathan Bannon, and it travels around the world. It has been shared and translated in multiple languages, so you can think of people around the world walking this journey with you, together, as the body of Christ.

 

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
