For the first time we were able to celebrate the Holy Nativity and Theophany of the Lord in our remodeled chapel.

On Theophany Father Vladimir and Father Maxim were leading the services. Divine liturgy was followed by the great blessing of the water and a litia for the repose of Nun Joanna, the foundress of the skete. Father Vladimir then proceeded to bless all the houses and grounds of the skete.
