Bridegroom Services

XC%20Bridegroom%20Icon

These evening services focus on the theme of Christ as the Bridegroom of the Church. We sense His sacrificial love for us, and are reminded to prepare our hearts for union with Him, by faithful perseverance, good works of mercy, and love.

We are reminded in the Holy Scriptures of the foolish virgins who let their oil run out, and of the man invited to the wedding but losing his place without the wedding garment.

These beautiful services have a focus on the Second Coming of Christ, as well as opportunity for us to be prepared by repentance for Holy Pascha. Sacramental confessions are completed before Holy Wednesday night’s Healing Service. Repentance is our part in the healing of our souls - to be ready for union with Christ the Bridegroom.
