Radonitsa – Day of Rejoicing
On Tuesday of Saint Thomas week we remember those Orthodox Christians from all ages who have died in faith, and in the hope of resurrection. This day, known since early times as the “Day of Rejoicing,” is a traditional time to visit the graves of loved ones and offer prayers and services for their repose. In many places today, this celebration occurs on the Sunday after Holy Pascha [Saint Thomas Sunday].
