Celebrations & Passages
Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God
Your nativity, O Mother of God,
Has made known joy to the whole inhabited earth;
For from you there dawned the Sun of righteousness,
Christ our God.
He abolished the curse and gave the blessing
And by making death of no effect
He bestowed on us eternal life.

ABOUT US
We are an Orthodox church in the Archdiocese of Thyateira under the Ecumenical patriarchate. The parish was established in the year 2000, when the late Archbishop Gregorios visited and gave his blessing for us to negotiate the purchase of the church building and the former vicarage from the Anglican Church. The main services are in English and we use the traditional byzantine chant. As an Orthodox Church, we welcome Orthodox Christians of whatever background. We celebrate weddings, baptisms, funerals, house blessings and other prayers and services in whatever language is most suitable for the families and communities concerned.: English, Greek, Romanian, Slavonic.
