Jerusalem Patriarchate: The prayer of absolution at the Patriarchate
On the evening of Cheesefare Sunday, 4th/17th March 2024, in the context of the Service of the Small Compline in the monastic Church of Saints Constantine and Helen, His Beatitude our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos read the prayer of absolution as a very important preparation for the entrance into Holy and Great Lent.
After the reading of the Forgiveness prayer, Bishops and Priests, monks and nuns asked His Beatitude for forgiveness and His blessing and forgave each other and went up to their cells for the beginning of the Great Lent.
