With Faith and Love, Draw Near

I recently celebrated my name day of St. Elizabeth Fyodorovna. My husband, son, and I attended a Saturday Divine Liturgy to celebrate my patron and blessed example of how one draws near to Christ.

It is known that St. Elizabeth Fyodorovna loved the Divine Liturgical services. Similarly, I myself have loved the Divine Liturgy since I was a child. Having memorized it quite young, it resulted in me thoroughly immersing myself in learning as many forms of chant as I could find later on in my adult life.
