As these pictures suggest, this retreat was simply incredible! After Divine Liturgy and a wonderful pancake breakfast, prepared with love by an army of loving dads, we learned how to fold exquisite palm crosses, enjoyed a thoughtful presentation on St. Lazarus, made "Resurrection Cookies" (learning the true story of Easter along the way), and made gorgeous Easter baskets according to the Russian Orthodox Tradition. It was a powerful day, and we hope this will become a yearly tradition at our parish!
