SATURDAY OF SOULS
Saturday of Souls is a series of Saturdays set aside in the liturgical Greek Orthodox Calendar for the remembrance of those who have died.
These days occur on designated Saturdays before and during the seasons of Lent and Easter: the first two are observed on the two Saturdays before Lent begins, the third Saturday of Souls coincides with the first Saturday of Lent, and the fourth
Soul Saturday takes place on the Saturday before Pentecost, the close of the the Easter season.
Saturday holds special significance in the religious calendar as the day on which the crucified Jesus lay dead in the tomb before His resurrection.
On each Soul Saturday a special service is held where prayers are offered in memory ofthose who have died and a list of names of the dead is recited.
Participants attending the services prepare Kolyva, and also supply Wine (Nama), Olive Oil and Prosfora. (Please note that due to covid-19, bring your Kolyva in plastic bags).
