A. It is a Saturday evening service of preparation for the Sunday Liturgy. Its theme is completely resurrectional and sets the stage for the theme of the coming Liturgy. It is also celebrated on the eves of Great Feasts and of certain holy days. It begins at 5:30pm on Saturdays (6pm during weekdays) and is attended often by quests, as there is usually a half-hour discussion and question-and-answer time afterwards.
