When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan,The worship of the Trinity was made manifest!For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee,And called Thee His beloved Son!And the Spirit, in the form of a dove,Confirmed the truthfulness of His word.O Christ our God, Who hast revealed ThyselfAnd hast enlightened the world, glory to Thee!

To celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas in early December, both the younger an older classes joined together to make Nativity Luminaries and framed art of an Icon of Bishop St. Nicholas.
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Nicholas, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
