On Clean Monday, a quiet snowfall descended upon Christ the Savior Orthodox Church in Berlin, wrapping the Parish Center and forest in white. As we began the Great Fast, the earth itself seemed to preach repentance. The prophet declares, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). The fresh snow, untouched and radiant, became an icon of the mercy of God. Lent opens before us not as bleakness, but as promise. The Lord does not merely cover our sins; He makes all things new, pure, and bright by His divine grace and love for mankind.
