BLESSING OF CARS & ALL VEHICLES AFTER LITURGY: At the end of Liturgical services, faithful are invited to collect outside by the main entrance where vehicles will be blessed through the sprinkling of holy water, in honor of the Feast of Elias, or Elijah, the previous week.

Saint Anna was the daughter of the priest Matthan and his wife Mary. She was of the tribe of Levi and the lineage of Aaron. According to Tradition, she died peacefully in Jerusalem at age 79, before the Annunciation to the Most Holy Theotokos. During

the reign of St. Justinian the Emperor, a church was built in her honor at Deutera. Emperor Justinian II restored her church, since St. Anna had appeared to his pregnant wife. It was at this time that her body and veil were transferred to Constantinople. Portions of St.

Anna’s holy relics may be found on Mt. Athos, as well as in other parts of the world.
