Lazarus Saturday

I can hardly believe that we are already approaching Holy Week! This Lent has gone by way too fast.I will be out-of-town again this weekend but wanted to wish you all a blessed Saturday of Lazarus!I have been traveling back and forth a lot lately and therefore have not had much time to blog. My grandmother Sevasti was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone several surgeries in the past month or so. Her most recent one was yesterday and thank God they got it all. We are in the process of researching preventative options right now, I will keep you posted. In the meantime, please keep her in your prayers.We won't have a chance to bake our own Lazarakia like we normally do but I did get some for the boys from the sisters of our monastery.  If you'd like to make them yourself, check out the recipe here.Lazarus Saturday is one of my favorite church holidays.
