This coming Sunday is one of my very favorites of the year. It is Forgiveness Sunday, whereon each person present, beginning with the priest, asks each other person to forgive him for any and all offenses, known or unknown, voluntary or involuntary. The service is just stunning in its beauty.
It's a Vespers Service, so find out when your nearest Orthodox Church is doing it, because some do it on Sunday evening, and some do it after the regular services on Sunday morning. (If the Orthodox church nearest you doesn't do this Vespers at all, please ask them from me why not!)
Tip: wear comfortable shoes and clothing that will allow you to bend a lot. You'll at least be bowing before each other person present, if not doing a full prostration.
