Glad to hear you are on your way back to your early-March normal.

Are you holding multiple services?

Are you holding multiple services?

Yes and no.

In the Orthodox Church our normal rule is "one Liturgy, one Altar, one day" but early on (March) there were some Hierarchs who were allowing parishes with more than one Priest to serve more than one Liturgy per day.

Theoretically other than during Lent we could serve the Divine Liturgy seven days a week.

Practically most parishes are Sundays plus Great Feasts and many Saints' days...particularly Saints for whom parishioners have been named. Nicholas (December 6), Katherine (November 25) and George (April 23) are some of the favorites in these parts.
