- On Holy Saturday, March 30th from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. service we will be making pascha bread, hdruka (Easter cheese) and chrin (beets and horseradish) in St. Mary’s Hall. We invite everyone to come and help make your own Easter basket items on that day. This is a great opportunity to learn some secret efficient techniques. The church will be open for prayer during the entire day. So plan to “stay & watch” with our crucified Lord on Saturday even if you don’t make anything in the kitchen.
