Celebrations & Passages
The approach of Christmas
Today the Virgin comes
To the cave to give birth ineffably
To the eternal Word.
Hearing this, dance, o inhabited world!
Glorify, with angels and with shepherds,
Him who willed to be made manifest,
A little child,
God before the ages.

ABOUT US
We are an Orthodox church in the Archdiocese of Thyateira under the Ecumenical patriarchate. The parish was established in the year 2000, when the late Archbishop Gregorios visited and gave his blessing for us to negotiate the purchase of the church building and the former vicarage from the Anglican Church. The main services are in English and we use the traditional byzantine chant. As an Orthodox Church, we welcome Orthodox Christians of whatever background. We celebrate weddings, baptisms, funerals, house blessings and other prayers and services in whatever language is most suitable for the families and communities concerned.: English, Greek, Romanian, Slavonic.
