Intercession of the Holy Virgin Parish Sydney. Nativity - New Year's Parish Lunch.
On Sunday 11 January 2026, our Sisterhood organised a New Years lunch for the parish. Lots of delicious food and fellowship was shared, along with traditional carol singing to complete the Nativity cycle of services. Thank you to Natalka Oleksyn our MC, Evhen Oleksyn for traditional greetings, and all those who contributed to the event.

Nativity of Our Lord 2025
The Nativity of our Lord has been celebrated at the parish. Our takeaway as Orthodox Christians is that we are to remember the great act of humility that God bestowed on us by becoming one of us.
Our duty is to be lights in the valleys of darkness that appear in the world. Jesus tells us, "You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven," Matthew 5:14-16.
We have a lot of work to do.
PLAST NSW blessed us all on the Nativity with the Bethlehem Light of Peace.
