The Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos at Lazarica
The Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos was prayerfully celebrated at the Church of Saint Prince Lazar — Lazarica, in Birmingham.
The Divine Liturgy was celebrated by the Very Reverend Protopresbyter-Stavrophor Nenad Popović, parish priest of Birmingham, concelebrating with Father Leonid Smalov.
The faithful gathered in prayer and offered their supplications to the Most Holy Theotokos, glorifying her unceasing intercession before the Lord. The Feast of the Protection reminds us of her motherly love and care for all who turn to her in faith, especially in times of hardship and trial.
The prayerful gathering offered an opportunity to strengthen our trust in God’s mercy and, under the protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, to persevere in faith, prayer and love for our neighbours.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
