Sunday of Orthodoxy First Sunday of Lent in the Christian Orthodox calendar The first Sunday of Lent in the Christian Orthodox church commemorates the victory in the eighth century of the Orthodox over the iconoclasts, who denounced the use of icons and destroyed them. On this day, worshippers hear readings from the Syndicon, a text that declares the suitability of using icons in prayer and worship both public and private.
