I received a note from the Chancellor yesterday that the Consecration of the Holy Chrism will take place on Lazarus Saturday, March 31 at Sts. Vladimir and Olga Cathedral (McGregor Street). This consecration, which usually takes place on the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the great on Great and Holy Thursday, has been moved to this date by the Metropolitan in order to involve more the of clergy and faithful in its celebration. For a beautiful understanding of Holy Chrism, please see the following explanation at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (and this is a beautiful case of where Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox share a common understanding and celebration).
