Nativity of the Birthgiver of God

I went to vigil and matins at the Cathedral.
Long, beautiful and joyful.
It was like a foretaste of Pascha,
which, it is...
Blessed Feast!

  2. The Nativity of the Theotokos is one of my favourite feasts. Sometimes when I feel bereft of beauty I go and get my Festal Menaion and read it to myself.
