On the evening of the sixth of January, the Church gathered to celebrate the Nativity of The Lord. The celebration began with the reading of the Gospel of St Matthew during the Glorious Hours. Archbishop Rafaele and Archpresbyter Mark shared the readings which included many stories about the events leading up to the birth of our Lord.
At midnight, the Divine Liturgy started and was a beautiful celebration of the coming of our Lord into this world.
The evening concluded with an agape feast in the church hall.
A wonderful evening was had by all!
Please enjoy some photographs of the celebration below, and watch Archbishop Rafaele's homily in the video above.
