The first snow of the Winter of 2015 arrived at Mount St. Macrina on the Holy Feast of the Theophany along with the coldest temperatures of the year so far.

The Sisters had their second Holy Night Supper the evening before the Feast as we continue the traditions. The Sisters also enjoyed Christmas prayers, caroling at the Monastery and at Mount Macrina Manor. Caroling concludes at the House of Prayer where the Sisters enjoy refreshments and social time.
