Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent
O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be
gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways,
and bring them again with penitent hearts and
steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the
unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your
Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Description
Icons, or holy pictures, have been used for millennia
primarily within the Eastern Orthodox tradition as
windows on the divine and as aids to prayer. The day
focuses on the icon as art and as meditative focus.
The day includes a field trip to an Eastern Orthodox
church near the ECCU.
See Icon Cards for
free eCards from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. At the site, click
on
the "about" tab at the top first. Visitors to the site can
begin customizing their messages by selecting an
icon from a database made up of hundreds of holy
images. Each Iconogram functions as both an e-card
and a teaching tool. Along with your personalized
message to your loved one, ICONOGRAMS.org
provides a description of the saint or feast depicted in
the icon along with the appropriate hymn for the feast.
