Siblings . . .

As anyone with siblings can tell you, there are just sometimes - or even most of the times - when you don't want to share. And cats are no different. Possum the cat shares food dishes with others, but he wants to drink alone! He's glad for his sister and brother cats to drink at another time, but when he drinks the water dish is all his!


We hope you are having a happy day!

St. John, apostle and evangelist

And on this second day after Christmas, we celebrate St. John the Divine. For me this day is a reminder of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York City, a glorious place full of beauty and history where we often worshipped when I lived in New York. Monastery Icons  provides this icon and explanation of St. John's life: Our St. John the Evangelist icon illustrates, the son of Zebedee, and the brother of St. James the Great. Called to be an Apostle by our Lord in the first year of His public ministry. He became the "beloved disciple" and the only one of the Twelve who did not forsake the Savior in the hour of His Passion. He stood faithfully at the cross when the Savior made him the guardian of His Mother.   Over the past years we have often had cats named John or variations of John, such as Ian. And now we have  Yanah  whose name is also a variation of John. May you have a blessed and holy day!

One of the earliest iterations, in the late 1890s, included selling tamales and coffee, and was aimed at raising funds to help with building costs. And fund raising was also needed after hurricane damage in 1900, and a devastating fire in 1938. But most of all May Fete is and always has been a celebration of friendship and support among friends who worship together. May Fete is a sign of faith and hope for the Christ Church family.  This year three of the Sunday services (9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m.) will have one big 10 a.m. bilingual service before the party begins! Over the years, the May Fete has changed and adapted - there are still a young May Fete King and Queen and an intricate May pole dance, but the most popular food...

February 2

Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple in the Episcopal Church or Meeting of the Lord in the Orthodox Church. Read the whole story in the Gospel according to Luke (Luke 2: 21-38). A poem for the day: Nunc dimittis Now old Simeon can sing his song! This is the baby, this is the Lord! This is the King we have been waiting for, Now old Simeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song: A baby - every mother's ordinary light of the world, But, my Lord, this is the Lord! Now old Smeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song, Light and glory, salvation and heart-sword: This baby here - this is the Lord! Now old Simeon can sing his song!           (from  Handful of Stars , © 2018) And a very Happy Birthday to  St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's School, NYC And it's Ground Hog Day!  Punxsutatawney Phil predicts an early Spring . . . hope you're right, Phil!
