WORCESTER — Twelve priests and five deacons from different churches participate in the Sunday of Orthodoxy Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great at St. George Cathedral yesterday. The Sunday of Orthodoxy has been observed by Orthodox Christians on the first Sunday in Lent since A.D. 842. Following the tradition, members of the 12 Orthodox churches that make up the Council of Eastern Orthodox Churches of Central Massachusetts celebrate the event together. [Okay, really there were just three deacons -- maybe they were counting the two sub-deacons? But I thought a sub-deacon only counted as half a deacon? (Two thirds, tops, if he's good...) Or maybe the Archdeacon counted for three. Where are the Latins when you need them?!]
