St Nicholas Day was truly wonderful.
Liturgy, the meal afterwards at my home...
The fish was the best I ever made,
fresh (not frozen), marinated overnight wrapped in foil,
ready for baking.
The company was delightful.
It was such a blessing!

O who loves Nicholas the saintly,
O who serves Nicholas the saintly,
Him will Nicholas receive,
And give help in time of need:
Holy Father Nicholas!
He who dwells in God’s holy mansions,
Is our help on the land and oceans,
He will guard us from all ills,
Keep us pure and free from sins
Holy Father Nicholas!
Holy Saint, hearken to our prayer,
Let not life drive us to despair,
All our efforts shall not wane,
Singing praises to your name:
Holy Father Nicholas!

ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful, Elizabeth. I'm sorry to read in another post that your friend is ill. I know pneumonia is really worrisome for elderly folk. I hope she gets to feeling better soon.
