Saint Andrew of Crete wrote: 

Let us go together to meet Christ on the Mount of Olives. Today he returns from Bethany and proceeds of his own free will toward his holy and blessed passion, to consummate the mystery of our salvation. He who came down from heaven to raise us from the depths of sin, to raise us with himself, we are told in Scripture, above every sovereignty, authority and power, and every other name that can be named, now comes of his own free will to make his journey to Jerusalem. He comes without pomp or ostentation. As the psalmist says: He will not dispute or raise his voice to make it heard in the streets. He will be meek and humble, and he will make his entry in simplicity. Let us run to accompany him as he hastens toward his passion, and imitate those who met him then, not by covering his path with garments, olive branches or palms, but by doing all we can to prostrate ourselves before him by being humble and by trying to live as he would wish. Then we shall be able to receive the Word at his coming, and God, who no limits can contain, will be within us. In his humility Christ entered the dark regions of our fallen world and he is glad that he became so humble for our sake, glad that he came and lived among us and shared in our nature in order to raise us up again to himself. And even though we are told that he has now ascended above the highest heavens—the proof, surely, of his power and godhead—his love for man will never rest until he has raised our earthbound nature from glory to glory, and made it one with his own in heaven. So let us spread before his feet, not garments of soulless olive branches, which delight the eye for a few hours and then wither, but ourselves, clothed in his grace, or rather, clothed completely in him. We who have been baptized into Christ must ourselves be the garments that we spread before him. Now that the crimson stains of our sins have been washed away in the saving waters of baptism and we have become white as pure wool, let us present the conqueror of death, not with mere branches of palms but with the real rewards of his victory. Let our souls take the place of the welcoming branches as we join today in the children's holy song: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the King of Israel.


Troparion (Tone 4):

Through baptism we were buried with you, O Christ our God, and we have become worthy of immortal life by your resurrection. Therefore, we raise our voices in praise of you: Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who come in the name of the Lord. 


Kontakion (Tone 6): 

In heaven You are seated on a throne; but on earth upon a colt, O Christ our God. You accepted praise of angels and the song of children crying out to you: Blessed is he who comes to restore Adam. 

  

The Annunciation of the Theotokos

The Annunciation of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is celebrated on March 25

Liturgies:

Friday, March 24 - Festal Vespers at 7:00 pm

Saturday, March 25 - Divine Liturgy at 9:00 am

  

The Annunciation of the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary when, in the city of Nazareth, the angel of the Lord announced to Mary, "Behold you will bear a son, and he will be called the Son of the Most High.” Mary said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And thus the fulness of time was accomplished, and he who before time was the only- begotten Son of God was made flesh for our sake and for our salvation, by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human.  


Troparion (Tone 4):

Today it the summit of our salvation, and what was hidden from before all ages is revealed: the Son of God becomes a virgin's son, and Gabriel announces the good news of grace. Therefore, let us exclaim with him to the Theotokos: Rejoice, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with you. 


Kontakion (Tone 8): 

O Theotokos, valiant defender, your servants offer you hymns of victory in thanksgiving, for you have delivered us. But since you have invincible power, free us from all peril, that we may exclaim to you: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride.
