Holy Week and Pascha


“I Am the Resurrection and the Life.” Orthodox icon of the Raising of Lazarus, which preceded Holy Week.

Rides will be available to all services, including the midnight Pascha service, which will be followed by a banquet. Confessions will also be available at services or by appointment as needed through Holy Wednesday. For rides or confession or for any questions, please contact the Bucknell Orthodox Christian Chaplain, Rev./Prof. Paul Siewers, asiewers@bucknell.edu, or 570-863-9039. All are welcome!
