On December 10, we gathered at the church to decorate for the Nativity. Fr. Igor, Matushka Anna, Sofia, John Palubniak, and Bob and Betty Czech worked together and soon had the church ready for the joyous Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. St. Gregory the Theologian tells us: "[The Nativity] is not a festival of creation, but a festival of re-creation of a renewal that sanctifies."
