The celebration of the Annunciation of the Lord is «obligatory», i.e. believers have the obligation to participate in the Holy Mass, and must also refrain from performing optional work. Chalk, incense and water will traditionally be blessed during the Holy Liturgy. We will mark the doors of our houses with chalk, and we will sprinkle them with water as a sign that we have accepted the incarnate Word of God into our home.
Since our Center is closed on Saturday, we will not have Holy Mass that day. In this regard, we encourage you to go to the Liturgy in other churches on the Feast of the Epiphany.
On Sunday, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, there will be a blessing of water, which we will be sprinkled with at the beginning of the Holy Mass and which we can also take with us to make the sign of the cross with it before leaving the house, or to sprinkle our premises with it.
