On Wednesday 19 October, a POLY-HIERARCHICAL DIVINE LITURGY will be celebrated and presided over by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, together with Metropolitan Andrew of the Forty Churches, who is representing His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Metropolitan Ieronymos of Larissa and Tyrnavos, and our Assistant bishops and clergy from across Australia.
On Holy Friday, we celebrate the awesome, holy, and saving Passion of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ—the spitting, the blows with the palm of the hand, the buffeting, the mockery, the reviling, the wearing of the purple robe, the reed, the sponge, the vinegar, the nailing, the lance, and above all, the Crucifixion and Death which He condescended to endure willingly for our sakes—and also the saving confession of the grateful thief upon the cross.
On Holy Thursday, the Church commemorates four events: the sacred Foot-washing, the Mystical Supper (the institution of Holy Communion), the Transcendent Prayer, and the Betrayal itself.
The Holy Monastery of the Mother of God ‘PANTANASSA’ is a coenobitic monastery for men located on the Central Coast of N.S.W. Australia. The monastery was established in 1976 with the blessing of the late Archbishop Stylianos, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church (1975-2019)
