Celebrating the Feast of Saint Nicholas

We are very blessed in our celebration of the Feast of Saint Nicholas this year. I was able to take my 2 holiday vacation days for the 5th and the 6th of Devember.

On the 5th I took the oldest two girls to the local Orthodox Cathedral for Great Vespers, Crafts and a visit from two people (it was the first time they were seen in the same place at the same time) to discuss the difference between them.

When we got home everyone went to bed, but not before setting out their shoes in the front room.

To our suprise we had a very special visitor to the house that night.

Until finally we sat for a feast of Stuffed Pork Shoulder Roast, Roasted Potatoes, Peas and Dinner rolls. On the side was a special beverage of Bishop's Wyn.

At the end of the meal the dessert was prepared and brought to the table as a treat to end a wonderful meal.

Great idea about lining up the shoes. We are much less organized and spend our time searching for shoes every time we need them.

What kind of cake is that?
