All Souls’ Day – procession and prayer

Procession to cemeteryThe Sisters made their annual All Souls’ Day procession to the monastic cemetery this afternoon, praying Vespers and remembering each of the Sisters (and a few others) who are buried there.  This is a treasured time for us – remembering and honoring those who have gone before us, and seeking their continued intercession.
