Comments on: Why We’re Not Celebrating St. Nicholas on Dec. 6th This Year {And Neither Should You} https://barefootabbey.com/2019/12/03/why-were-not-celebrating-st-nick/ Everyday Catholic Living One Feast, Fast, and Feria at a Time Fri, 06 Dec 2019 21:20:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Elizabeth https://barefootabbey.com/2019/12/03/why-were-not-celebrating-st-nick/#comment-1376 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 21:20:18 +0000 http://barefootabbey.com/?p=12295#comment-1376 As a Byzantine Catholic in the middle of the Nativity Fast, I am taking a break from the penitential nature of this season in order to celebrate the feast of the saint who is the patron of our children. Besides, it is a solemnity in the Byzantine Church, so fasting would be inappropriate. I am, however, offering my Nativity Fast for the Church, that she be faithful and united. St. Nicholas the wonder-worker, pray for us.

We don’t even celebrate St Nicholas’ feast day….but I think we will this year. We will be asking for the intercession of St. Nicolas to help clarify the confusion in our Church wrought by people who listen to demons instead of The Holy Father.

You are completely free to leave it, its your blog. But know you are lossing people on the title.
