St. Nicholas Day greetings.

"As rule of faith, and picture of gentleness, and teacher of temperance,
you were shown to your flock, by the truth of the evidence;
thus you achieved the lofty through humility, the abundant through poverty.
O Father and Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God, that our souls may be saved.
(Tone 4)"

- Apolytikion of Saint Nicholas

Is it just me, or does it seem like FormerLib forgot some Orthodox rule about including hyphens or underscores in your name? ;-)

St. Nicholas Day greetings. Thank you.

I am in an old calendar parish (St Nicholas) and we will celebrate the feast on the 19th. But the 6th is also a significant day in the don-o household. It was four ago today that we saw our first picture of a delightful Siberean orphan who is not our son Vanya.

When we adopted him in America we were allowed to change his birthdate, so we chose December 6.

Thank you for your St. Nicholas Day greetings (received late due to travel).
