HOMILY BY BISHOP SILVESTER KISITU ON THE FEAST OF THE ENTRY OF THEOTOKOS INTO THE TEMPLE

On 21 November 2023, His Grace Bishop Silvestros - Holy Diocese of Jinja & Eastern Uganda, presided over the Divine Liturgy at Holy Resurrection Cathedral - Jinja to celebrate the feast of the Presentation of the Theotokos into the Temple.
According to the tradition of the Church, the #Theotokos was brought to the Temple at three years of age, where she was consecrated to God and spent her days until she was fourteen or fifteen years old; and then, as a mature maiden, by the common counsel of the priests (since her parents had reposed some three years before), she was betrothed to Joseph.

Subtitles add a lot of value to the truth the respected father is teaching us.
Τα Εισόδια της Θεοτόκου είναι μεγάλη εορτή της Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας, και εορτάζεται απ άκρον εις άκρον της Γης με χαρά, και Δόξα Θεού.
