We look forward with joy to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We have a season of the Forefeast in the days leading up to Christmas as well. We have prepared services for these days, as well as for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Royal Hours of the Nativity: Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 21 and 22, at 6:00.

This service is intended to be served at the beginning of Christmas Eve observances. We will celebrate them in two parts on these days, to give us a better opportunity to participate in these beautiful meditations preparing us for the feast of Nativity.

Vespers from the Eve of the Nativity of the Lord: Friday, Dec. 23, at 6:00. 

This service is meant to be celebrated about midday on Christmas Eve. To make possible greater participation, we move Vespers to the evening before. This service features a number of Old Testament readings foretelling the birth of Jesus Christ.

Vigil of the Nativity of the Lord: Saturday, Dec. 24, at 5:00. 

Divine Liturgy of the Nativity of the Lord: Sunday, Dec. 25, at 9:30. 

Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One,
and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One!
Angels with shepherds glorify Him;
the Wise Men journey with the star, //
since for our sake the eternal God was born as a little Child!

Christ is born! Glorify him!
