Annual Vasilopita Cutting on January 22 After Divine Liturgy

We will be celebrating our annual Vasilopita cutting this Sunday, January 22, immediately after Divine Liturgy.

Join us for this important tradition, and participate in the annual cutting ceremony after services. Donations received that day will be sent to Saint Basil Academy. Saint Basil Academy is the only Greek Orthodox licensed residential child-care institution for Orthodox children in America.

This annual family observance, together with many other traditions of our Church, joins our Orthodox Faith and heritage with the history of the Christian faith. The word Vasilopita is a compound Greek word which means the sweet ‘bread of Basil’.
