NEW YORK — The Diocesan Media Office of the Eastern American Diocese will publish photo-reports of Holy Week and the Lord’s Pascha on its official website, highlighting celebrations in parishes and monasteries across the diocese.

Parishioners and visitors wishing to contribute are asked to submit no more than 20 photographs, or links to galleries, to the Media Office at webmaster@eadiocese.org by April 20, 2026. Submissions must have the blessing of the parish rector prior to being sent.

The initiative aims to share the beauty and devotion of Passion Week services with the wider faithful online, allowing those unable to attend in person to participate spiritually. The Media Office extends its prayerful wishes for God’s help and blessings to all visitors of the diocesan website during this sacred season.

Previously, the UOJ reported that ROCOR weighed the canonization of its first US‑born saint.
