Dear brothers and sisters! In the tradition of the Orthodox Church and in the folk tradition there are "Honey Spas (Feast of the Saviour)" and "Apple Spas". Which are celebrated on August 14 and 19 respectively. These days, after the Divine Liturgy the priest performs the consecration of the honey and the vegetables of the new harvest ("Honey Spas") and the consecration of the fruits ("Apple Spas"). But due to the specifics of our area, most of the parishioners will not be able to participate in the divine Liturgy and consecration, because these are working days. For this reason, the consecration of honey, vegetables and fruits of the new harvest will take place immediately after the Sunday Divine Liturgy on August 18.
