First Sunday of the Great and Holy lent, 20 March 2016, the day when we celebrate the Triumph of Orthodoxy over the iconoclasts, was the second day in a row in Cabramatta when we needed two Chalices to commune all the faithful. The Holy Liturgy was celebrated by very reverend protopresbyter-stavrophors Djuro Djurdjevic and Nenad Djurasinovic; whilst Fr. Nemanja Mrdjenovic was hearing confessions from the early morning until the beginning of Communion, from hundreds of faithful who were preparing for the Holy Eucharist.

Just before the end of the Liturgy there was a procession around the Church, led by the children of our Sunday school carrying the icons they received in the Church, followed by the priests, the choir and laity carrying icons of their heavenly Patrons and God's Saints that they brought from their homes.
