The Royal Hours followed by the Deposition from the Cross

Join us for The Royal Hours

The Great Hours or Royal Hours are chanted and read as one service on Great Friday morning. During the vespers of the deposition of Christ from the Cross, following, we take down the icon of Christ's body from the cross and wrap it in a new, white linen sheet. This act commemorates the removal of Christ's body from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea (John 19:38-42).

All are welcome to participate in this reflective and enriching preparation for Pascha.

Come and see! Come and join us.
