St Vladimir’s Seminary warmly invites all to attend the Thirty-sixth Annual Orthodox Education Day scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2005. This year's theme is:
"Icons and iPods: Finding God in Popular Culture."

This annual outdoor event draws large groups of people from Orthodox parishes all over the country for a day of worship, education, fellowship, and a variety of ethnic foods. St Vladimir's Bookstore sells books at a special Education Day discount and children are drawn to the expansive activities tent set up especially for them.

Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, presided by His Beatitude, Metropolitan HERMAN, primate of the Orthodox Church in America and president of the seminary, will begin at 9:30 am. Afternoon workshops exploring various aspects of the day's theme will follow.

St Vladimir's is pleased to announce this year's keynote speaker, His Grace, Bishop SAVAS of Troas, chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.  The choir of Holy Trinity Church in Parma, Ohio, will sing the responses during the liturgy together with our own SVS Chorale.
