On the feast at the beginning of the Nativity Fast, we look forward to the Incarnation of Christ, celebrated by the Feast of the Nativity, and reflect on our relationship with the Lord and the meaning of our lives as Christians.
October 1st is the Feast of the Icon of the Mother of God known as ‘the Healer.’ According to tradition, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to a cleric of a Moscow church in the 18th century and healed him from a serious illness.
