Egg-stravaganza is a fun-filled event celebrating the Eastern-European art of pysanky. This centuries old folk art utilizes a wax-resist process using colorful dyes and beeswax to create eggs covered with intricate designs. Start a new tradition in your family by learning this wonderful craft.
The Egg-stravaganza begins Friday, March 19 from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. with Lenten foods offered and a pysanky workshop at 6:30 p.m. Doors open Saturday, March 20 at 9:30 a.m. with pysanky classes at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Egg-stravaganza continues until 4 p.m. There will be Lenten lunch items available as well as baked goods. In addition, the bookstore will have a wide variety of terrific Easter gift items and pysanky kits, tools, dyes and books.
Pre-registration for the pysanky classes is highly recommended. Please call 860-523-0334 or 860-721-0280 to register. Classes are $25 per person and last approximately 2 1/2 hours.

In an effort to reach out to more non-Orthodox, Fr. William is initiating an Orthodox “Talk Line” through which persons may submit questions and inquiries about the Orthodox faith to him via the internet. Communications will be through asorthodox@snet.net. We encourage you to share this information with others. And while the service is especially designed for the non-Orthodox general public, Orthodox Christians also may submit questions.

Lent calls us to renew our bonds with Christ, to strengthen those we have, to build those we are lacking, and to renew our love for Him. It does this through our worship, our prayers, our fasting, our almsgiving, our focus.

And it does this to prepare us for the glory that we celebrate with Christ at His Resurrection.
