Starting at 9pm on New Year’s eve, members of the Greek Orthodox Christian Society and their families attended a vigil service for the celebration of St Basil’s feast day on January 1st. It also provided a nice opportunity to begin 2017 together at church.
In the week leading to Christmas, the Greek Orthodox Christian Society visited both the Castellorizian Nursing Home and St Basil’s Nursing Home. Through Christmas Carols, cards and greetings, the joy of Christ’s birth was brought to the residents of the nursing homes.
