Pascha 2021 at St. Jonah Orthodox Church – Spring, Texas

Orthodox Christians from around the Houston area were blessed with a gridlocked Paschal Procession. Archpriest Fr. John Whiteford says that folks had to stop repeatedly because so many faithful continued to stream out of the parish as the procession wrapped back around to the (eventually) closed front door of the parish. After Christ’s Resurrection is announced, the doors are again opened, and even the royal doors to the altar are opened, representing our renewed access to Heaven. Christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death!
