Panikhida

Lent is a time of inner thought and reflection of ourselves as Orthodox Christians. It is also a time to remember those Orthodox Christians who have departed.
While a Panikhida can be served at any time of the year, it is a service that is held on the Saturday before Meatfare Sunday, and on the second, third, and fourth Saturdays of Lent. These services give a feeling a penitence through the Prayers for the Departed. Prayers are said for, among other things, those who have died, for the comfort of those who remain and as a rememberance of our own mortality.
Panikhidas are held on Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. on the appointed days during Lent.
