Calendar

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

Please contact Fr. Kirill if you don't have the Zoom link (it is sent occasionally to parish e-mail list).

On this, the eve of the Great Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God, we celebrate the festal vigil (vespers and matins) here at Holy Trinity Cathedral in San Francisco.

The services of the feast repeat a theme, that the Mother of Life has “passed over into the heavenly joy, into the divine gladness and unending delight” of the Kingdom of her Son (Vesperal hymn).

The feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos is the celebration of the fact that all humans are “highly exalted” in the blessedness of the victorious Christ, and that this high exaltation has already been accomplished in Mary the Theotokos. The feast of the Dormition is the sign, the guarantee, and the celebration that Mary’s fate is the destiny of all those of “low estate” whose souls magnify the Lord, whose spirits rejoice in God the Saviour, whose lives are totally dedicated to hearing and keeping the Word of God which is given to humans in Mary’s child, the Saviour and Redeemer of the world.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Great Vespers at 6:00 PM followed by the Chrismations of Arthur Vladimir and Rachel. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

At the Vespers, the three Old Testamental readings are "Mariological" in their New Testamental interpretation. Thus, Jacob's Ladder which unites heaven and earth and the place which is named "the house of God" and the "gate of heaven" (Genesis 28:10-17) are taken, to indicate the union of God with men which is realized most fully and perfectly-both spiritually and physically-in Mary the Theotokos, Bearer of God. So also the vision of the temple with the "door 'to the East" perpetually closed and filled with the "glory of the Lord" symbolizes Mary, called in the hymns of the feast "the living temple of God filled with the divine Glory." (Ezekiel 43:27-44:4) Mary is also identified with the "house" which the Divine Wisdom has built for himself according to the reading from Proverbs 9:1-11.

The epistle reading of the Divine Liturgy is the famous passage about the coming of the Son of God in "the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of man" (Philippians 2:5-11) and the gospel reading is that which is always read for feasts of the Theotokos--The woman in the crowd glorifies the Mother of Jesus, and the Lord himself responds that the same blessedness which his mother receives is for all "who hear the word of God and keep it." (Luke 11:27-28)

Thus, on the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, as on all liturgical celebrations of Christ's Mother, we proclaim and celebrate that through God's graciousness to mankind every Christian receives what the Theotokos receives, the "great mercy" which is given to human persons because of Christ's birth from the Virgin.

This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

Before we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am, we begin to gather at the Cathedral for the Lord's Day! Some of us pray the Hours (9:10), some of us prepare coffee or lunch, singers attend choir rehearsal (8:45), children attend a pre-Liturgy church school reviewing the Gospel of the Day (9:00), and more. Welcome!

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

On this, the eve of the feast of the Entrance of the Mother of God, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM.  

The texts of the service tell how Mary was brought as a small child to the temple by her parents in order to be raised there among the virgins consecrated to the service of the Lord until the time of their betrothal in marriage. According to Church tradition, Mary was solemnly received by the temple community which was headed by the priest Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. She was led to the holy place to be “nourished” there by the angels in order to become herself the “holy of holies” of God, the living sanctuary and temple of the Divine child who was to be born in her.

On this day, we celebrate the great feast of the Entrance of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple with Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am.

The feast of the Mary's Nativity is not only the commemoration of her birth, but the revelation of the true meaning of each person's entrance into the world. From the moment we are born, we already begin to fulfill our human destiny. And this means to fulfill, in our own situation and conditions, that which Mary did. What did she do? First of all, she was presented to the Temple, and that happens to us too: we also are presented to the temple, in Baptism and Chrismation. This means that we are in a way taken out of this world and enter into the true life which is in God, that our life is dedicated and committed to God. The Presentation to the Temple is the feast in which we learn to understand what our own dedication to God means.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

On this, Christmas Eve, we begin to enter into the joy of the feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ!

Vespers today inaugurates the celebration of the feast itself with the formal beginning of the liturgical day of Christmas. The tone of this celebration is given by the five stichera on "Lord, I call." What they really are is an explosion of joy for the gift of Christ's Incarnation which is now fulfilled! Eight biblical readings show that Christ is the fulfillment of all prophecies, that His Kingdom is the Kingdom "of all ages," that all human history finds its meaning in it, and the entire cosmos its center. This joy culminates in the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great and the bringing out of the festal icon into the middle of the church.

On this, Christmas Eve, we continue our vigil as we enter into the joy of the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ at 6:00 pm.

During the Vigil, we sing the Troparion and Kontakion of the feast with special hymns glorifying the Saviour's birth. There are also the special litanies of intercession and the solemn blessing of the five loaves of bread together with the wheat, wine, and oil. The faithful partake of the bread soaked in the wine and are also anointed with the oil.

The Troparion of the Feast:
"Thy Nativity, O Christ our God,
Has shone to the world the light of wisdom.
For by it, those who worshiped the stars
Were taught by a star to adore Thee, The Sun of Righteousness,
And to know Thee, the Orient from on high.
O Lord, glory to Thee!"

Kontakion of the Feast:
Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One,
And the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One!
Angels with shepherds glorify Him!
The wise men journey with a star!
Since for our sake the Eternal God was born as a Little Child!

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

This week we are meeting in the Romero Room inside the offices of University Ministry (which is located at Toler Hall).  Welcome!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

Please contact Fr. Kirill if you don't have the Zoom link (it is sent occasionally to parish e-mail list).

All are welcome for this time to gather with Fr. Kirill, Fr. Gregory, and pastoral assistant Alexei to learn and ask questions about the Orthodox Christian faith.  All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

Before we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am, we begin to gather at the Cathedral for the Lord's Day! Some of us pray the Hours (9:10), some of us prepare coffee or lunch, singers attend choir rehearsal (8:45), children attend a pre-Liturgy church school reviewing the Gospel of the Day (9:00), and more. Welcome!

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

This is a pan-Orthodox effort; Our own Fr. Kirill Sokolov serves as the chaplain at the University of San Francisco. For more information, please reach out to him and he'll be happy to connect you with student leaders.

This week we are meeting in the Romero Room inside the offices of University Ministry (which is located at Toler Hall).  Welcome!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

Please contact Fr. Kirill if you don't have the Zoom link (it is sent occasionally to parish e-mail list).

All are welcome for this time to gather with Fr. Kirill, Fr. Gregory, and pastoral assistant Alexei to learn and ask questions about the Orthodox Christian faith.  All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

Before we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am, we begin to gather at the Cathedral for the Lord's Day! Some of us pray the Hours (9:10), some of us prepare coffee or lunch, singers attend choir rehearsal (8:45), children attend a pre-Liturgy church school reviewing the Gospel of the Day (9:00), and more. Welcome!

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!
