Although many people complain about the Orthodox church using two calendars for fixed commemorations, it gave me the ability to “double dip” and celebrate the feast of one of my favorite saints, St. Xenia of St. Petersburg, twice (Jan. 24/Feb. 6)! We had vigil last night and hours/liturgy this morning. Russian services are especially beautiful, and these were no exception. Below are some (unfortunately blurry) photos I took. Blessed feast!
