As we gather to celebrate the nativity of our Lord and Savior, let us reflect on the great mystery and profound significance of this great feast. The birth of Jesus Christ in a humble manger in the town of Bethlehem is not only a historical event, but a divine revelation that touches the very core of our lives as Orthodox Christians. On Christmas Day we are invited to embrace the joy and hope that the birth of our Savior brings to the world. Students from the Hellenic Academy of Lowell visited the Metropolis of Boston, spreading joy and festive cheer. The children delighted Metropolitan Methodios with traditional Greek Christmas carols, sharing their excitement about the birth of Christ and the true spirit of the season. The gathering was a testament to the unity and shared traditions of the Greek Orthodox community. Metropolitan Methodios, visibly moved by the children's enthusiasm, welcomed them with open arms, referring to the Metropolis as their "Home Away From Home."
