One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require; even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit His holy temple. (Psalm 26:4)

It is our tradition on Thomas Sunday, this year on May 12th, to proceed to the cemetery after Trapeza. We begin at the general cemetery monument to sing Christ is Risen! followed by Memory Eternal! for all those buried in Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery. We then go to individual graves, as requested by friends and family, sprinkling with holy water and placing red eggs for particualar souls in blessed repose.
