On Sunday, December 10, Coffee Hour at Saint Tikhon’s Monastery was visited by a special guest. After Divine Liturgy at the Monastery Church the parish community made their way to the Trapeza, where everyone was given the words to the old Saint Nicholas’ Day song “O Kto Kto”. As the community children began to sing, with the adults joining in on the second verse, Seminarian Timothy Kolb, acting as a representative for Saint Nicholas and dressed for the part, made his way up the center isle of the Trapeza and sat in the midst of the children. He told the children stories from the life of Saint Nicholas, and, on behalf of the saint, gave each child a small gift.

Holy Saint Nicholas pray unto God for us!
