Pictures from "Behold the Lamb" show & dinner

Behold the Lamb bus trip - 04/07/09

We had a wonderful day to travel to the lovely Lancaster area to see the Easter show "Behold the Lamb" at the Millennium Theatre.   Our bus driver was once again Marcos from J & J Transport.  Snacks and water were provided on the bus and we had many rousing games of Bingo, with Easter theme prizes awarded to the winners.  Anyone who didn't win was given a lottery ticket.  We stopped off at the Hershey Farm Restaurant where we could have a meal or browse the shops.  Almost all of us did both.  We had wonderful seats at the theatre and the show was spellbinding.  You felt as if you were back in Biblical times actually seeing the crucifiction and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The resurrection scene was particularly touching as the Lord sat on the throne of glory after freeing us from the bondage of Hell.  We had dinner at the Good 'N Plenty Restaurant, which is surely was good and plentiful.  There were more shops available and then it was time to depart.  On the ride home, there was a 50/50 plus, and several items, not only half the winnings were available.  It was a wonderful, filling, and awe inspiring day.

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Daily Readings >

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
