Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church- The Sacrament of Holy Unction: Holy Wednesday Evening

Everyone is welcome to join us at the services of the Sacrament of Holy Unction: Holy Wednesday Evening.  Our GOYans will be reading the Epistles. 

       Introduction:

      On the afternoon or evening of Great and Holy Wednesday, the Sacrament or Mystery of Holy Unction is conducted in Orthodox parishes. The Sacrament of Holy Unction is offered for the healing of soul and body and for forgiveness of sins. At the conclusion of the service of the Sacrament, the body is anointed with oil, and the grace of God, which heals infirmities of soul and body, is called down upon each person. The Sacrament is performed by a gathering of priests, ideally seven in number, however, it can be performed by a lesser number and even by a single priest. - See more at: http://lent.goarch.org/holy_wednesday/learn/
