The Canon of St. Lazarus is a series of hymns sung in the Orthodox Church on Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday. These hymns commemorate Christ raising Lazarus from the dead and proclaim Him as the Resurrection and the Life. The service reminds us that this miracle was not only an act of compassion, but also a sign pointing to Christ’s own Resurrection and the promise of eternal life. As the Church prepares to enter Holy Week, the Canon of St. Lazarus fills this day with reverent joy, hope, and faith in Christ’s victory over death.
