Divine Liturgy - Theotokos of the Life Giving Spring

“Life-Giving Spring” refers to the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, which is said to have been discovered in Constantinople near a spring of water known for its healing properties. The icon is venerated for its ability to offer spiritual nourishment and physical healing to those who seek her intercession.

This feast celebrates the life-giving grace of the Mother of God, who nurtures and sustains us with the love and mercy of her Son, Jesus Christ. During the Liturgy, we focus on the healing power of prayer and the Mother of God’s ability to bring comfort, peace, and protection to her children. It is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on her role as a loving and powerful intercessor and to seek her help in times of need. Come together in prayer and devotion, and experience the spiritual refreshment and renewal that this feast day brings.
