The 36th Annual Russian Festival of our parish, Holy
Trinity Russian Orthodox Church. We hope that you will join us as we
celebrate the cultural heritage and rich history of our parish.
During
this festive weekend, we invite you to sample the many foods, souvenirs
and entertainment offered at our Russian Festival. All of the food –
ranging from the hot dishes and breads to the many desserts – was
prepared by our own parishioners. Most of the souvenirs have been
imported from Russia. Beautiful icons fashioned by the faithful in
Russia, dolls, pins, paintings are just some of the beautiful
expressions of faith and love witnessed today in Holy Rus’. And the
entertainment – dance groups, choirs and music ensembles – we hope will
make your feet tap and your hearts sing.
Come
and enjoy. Acquaint yourselves with our Russian heritage, make new
friends and celebrate with us as we conduct the Russian Festival 2009
!!!
May God bless and preserve you for many years.
