Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary for the feast of St Nicholas

Tomorrow 6 December is the feast of St Nicholas, not the cuddly rosy-cheeked Santa Claus who was created by Haddon Sundblom in 1931 as an advert for the Coca-Cola company, but the real Bishop of Myra , who gave up all his wealth to be ordained as a priest. The town of Myra was originally Lycian and was renamed Denre in 2005, in present-day Antalya Province of Turkey. St Nicholas was born around 270 AD and tradition has it that he died on 6 December 343 AD. One of his legends has it that he threw bags of gold through the windows of 3 poor girls to save them from prostitution. Michael the Archimandrite (814 - 842 AD) wrote a life of St Nicholas which it is believed used the earliest sources and is considered the most truthful account.

One way or another, we celebrate, along with so many countries in Europe, the feast of St Nicholas and rejoice in his witness to the Truth in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Come and join us for Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary at 10.00 a.m., livestreamed as usual, in honour of this wonderful saint.

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are currently in interregnum at St Michael's but are looking forward to our new full-time priest very, very soon.

We would like to thank Fr. Alex Summers and his family for their hard work and for bringing the community together in the 6 years they were with us. 

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.

God Bless
