Blessing of the Waters
This
years "Blessing of the Waters" took place on the Tanana River. It was
very cold (30 below 0) but, a few in the parish braved the weather for
the traditional Theophany blessing singing aloud "When Thou Oh Lord was
Baptize in the Jordan, worship of the Trinity was made manifest. . ."

The Feast Day of the Circumcision of Christ and St. Basil the Great and the "Vasilopita" (St. Basil Bread)
The
first piece of this holy cake is cut for Christ, the second piece for
the Theotokos, and the third piece for St. Basil the Great, and the
fourth piece is for the poor. Then all the faithful present receive a
piece. Hidden inside the cake is a coin. Whoever receives the coin is
said to be blessed for the New Year. This year, the very first piece
that was cut and given to Christ was the very piece that contained the
coin. One parishioner made mention that because Christ received the
coin, the entire parish will be blessed for the year! A blessed New
Year and blessed feast.

A glimpse at the harvest - 08/14/11
20-Mile Farm is owned and operated by one of our parish families specializing in home grown vegetables. Preferring to do things the "old-fashioned way" they advocate home grown foods to be the more wholesome choice.
Home grown foods don't have all the chemicals and additives that mass production products have. Home grown foods also have more substance with more vitamins and minerals.
Its possible to receive a regular supply of vegetables from 20 Mile Farm. Contact Raphael Stamey (rlstamey@20mile.com) for more information or visit their website at www.20mile.com

St. Nicholas Day 2009
Today, St. Nicholas came to visit. . . We had a Divine Liturgy. We ate lunch together and heard about St. Nicholas' and the things he really did do when he was still in the flesh and then we saw him! We sang "Oh Who loves Nicholas the saintly" to him as he walked in and met with all of us.
Special thanks to Timothy Nick! As well as all who helped out with the event and the making of Saint Nicholas' outfit.
