Services for Christmas and Theophany

Schedule for Christmas 2022

Come visit us for the holy feast of the nativity of Christ! Below are the dates and times leading up to the feast as well as the time for our midnight vigil. At the beginning of the new year we celebrate the baptism of our Lord (Theophany or Epiphany), which is a great feast as well. Our services for these feasts are very ancient and you will witness how Christians of the past used to sing and hymn our Lord on these great memorials of His saving grace.
