On the Saturday of Souls before Great Lent, Fr. Matthew Howell talks about the refreshment and comfort that souls of the departed receive by our prayers. Using the Synaxarion of the Lenten Triodion and Pentecostarion, he also reads an explanation for why we offer kolyva (boiled wheat) at memorial services.
