A Reflection on our Celebration
The church of the Elder Tradition, Holy Apostles Exarchate Motor Mission celebrated the Feast of the Holy Nativity at midnight on Sunday 7th January 2018 in East Doncaster.
It was an evening of joyous celebration with beautiful chants from our clergy and a shared agape afterwards.
Truly, the Elder tradition which remains faithful to the Orthodox calendar celebrated the Lord's birth in the stillness of night, away from the commercialism of the 25th of December. Thus, welcoming the Christ child in the silence of the night to be born once again in the manger of our hearts.
