Let this Advent liturgy - an annual tradition at St. Catherine's! - take you deeper into the mystery of the season. Drawing from prayer traditions of both the Christian West and East, Rome and Byzantium, we will be "breathing with both lungs of the Church" in joyful expectation of the Messiah. Come celebrate the vigil of the First Sunday of Advent at St. Catherine's. The night will consist of Adoration, the prayer of the psalms, meditation on ancient Advent readings, and a powerful 6th century Byzantine chant named Akathist to the Theotokos.
