Cerimonies
The Feast day and the commemoration of the Apostles Peter and Paul is celebrated with the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom which is conducted on the morning of the feast day and preceded by a Morning (Orthros) service. A Great Vespers is conducted on the evening before the day of the Feast.
Eastern Churches have a beautiful presentation and recognize the importance and prominence of the Apostles Peter and Paul with the icon showing both Apostles standing together holding an image of the Church.
Both Apostles, being chosen by our Lord, were instrumental in the establishment and growth of the early Church through their boldness, spiritual strength, and wisdom. Thus, they are recognized as "pillars" of the Church, having offered all even unto death for the sake of the Gospel of Christ.
In the icon, the Apostle Paul, the great missionary of the early Church, is holding a Gospel book, while the Apostle Peter offers a blessing with his right hand. At the top of the icon is a semicircle, representing the divine realm. Rays extend in the semicircle representing the blessings and presence of God upon His two chosen heralds of True Faith.
