For the first time, this year at Annunciation during Great Lent we are holding a “Lenten Lecture Series” on each Friday evening in the month of March. Beforehand we pray the Akathist to the Mother of God, which is traditional in Orthodox practice, followed up by a talk from an invited guest speaker.

On Friday, March 16, Fr. Nicklas Aiello – Priest at St. Basil Orthodox Mission in Weatherford, OK – came to give a talk entitled, “Hell: The Difference in Understanding Between East and West”. Below is the recording of the talk given by Fr. Nicklas and a link to download for easier listening on your own.
