On Sunday, March 24, the community of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Bethlehem, PA celebrated the Sunday of Orthodoxy. The Sunday school children, led by the Sunday School Coordinator, Karen Gowarty, and joined by their parents and teachers, made a procession to the front of the church with their favorite icons, which they brought from home. There, they were greeted by Fr. Nikolai Breckenridge. As the children displayed their personal and favorite icons, Father Nikolai reviewed the importance of icons in our church life.
May children everywhere keep their favorite saints close to their hearts, and always be faithful to their Christian Orthodox beginnings.
