Afrikaans Liturgy, Saturday 3 January 2015 – Metropolitan Church of Saint’s Raphael

Archbishopric of Good Hope






On Saturday 3 January, Fr Zachrias officiated at the service of the Holy Eucharist at the Metropolitan Church of Saints Raphael, Nicholas and Ereni.
After the service Father Zacharias blessed the “Vasilopita” – Saint Basil’s Sweet Bread. His Eminence Archbisbop Sergios, Metropolitan Bishop of Good Hope wished everyone well for the New Year and proceeded to cut the “Vasilopita” to share with the congregants. The first slice is cut for Christ, The second slice for Saint Basil, the third slice for the poor, the fourth slice for the Archbishop, the fifth slice for the Priest, then the chanter, the deacon, and the rest for the congregants in no particular order. The lucky coin was found in between the two slices which His Eminence cut for Emilia Smuts and her husband Francois. May they have many blessings for 2015!
