Join us for evening services at the Menil Byzantine Fresco Chapel Agios Themonianos

We will have evening services every second Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm 

4011 Yupon Street @ Branard Street

The service of the Small Paraklesis is chanted in times of distress and sorrow of soul and during the first fourteen days of August.

Participants submit names of family and friends seeking the intercessory prayers of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary and mother of Jesus Christ) for health, healing and forgiveness of sin.

Vespers is first service of the Daily Cycle of divine services celebrated in the Orthodox Church. Because the liturgical day begins at sunset, Vespers is traditionally served in the early evening. For many parishes, Vespers is the principal evening service. The service leads to the meditation of God's word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the eves of the Divine Liturgies, it begins the movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.
