Christmas the Monastery Way

I had a chance to check the schedule... Today is a normal monastic schedule. We had Vespers at 5:00, Supper is at 6:00 and then compline a little after 8:00 before spending the night in silence.

Tomorrow is normal as well until Noon. After Dinner (the Noon meal), we'll start to trim the large tree in Pilgrim Hall and set up the rest of the guesthouse, etc. a service involving a procession to the Crèche is at 5:00, with dinner later and a more formal worship with lots of music after 10:00 PM. That all follows with "Christmas Merriment" after midnight.

Christmas Day starts with sleeping in, then worship and a feast before heading back home.
