TENTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS

Sunday, Nov. 26 is the beginning of Advent – the period of “Fifty Days” (Hisnak or Yisnak) beginning with the Sunday nearest to the 25th of November and ending with the Saturday next after the Sunday nearest to the 6th of January, the Feast of Holy Nativity and Theophany of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus it covers a period of seven constant days.
