About this event
This January service brought the community together for Divine Liturgy and the Blessing of Jordan Water. Confession was available before the liturgy, and the service was framed by a clear communal intention: prayer for Ukraine.
Why it mattered
The Blessing of Jordan Water is one of the most recognisable winter observances in Ukrainian church life. Marking it in Darwin helps preserve a living faith tradition in a very different landscape.
What people could expect
- Divine Liturgy in the Ukrainian tradition
- Blessing of Jordan Water
- Time for confession and shared community presence
