It is a joy and blessing to all of us to witness of the illumination of our catechumen, Alexandra, thru the Rites of Baptism and of Chrismation on the Eve of Christmas. Alexandra has been preparing for her becoming Orthodox Christian with the assistance of her husband, David, for one year. Before Alexandra was received in the Orthodoxy she and David introduced their mother to the Orthodoxy in time of her mother's illness. She agreed with them to accept the Orthodoxy and baptized at her hospital bed with the name of Saint Nectarios. With the blessing of our Lord, Nectaria reposed in the hospital after her first Holy Communion. May her memory be eternal.
