On Sunday, December 8, 2013, the children of the Three Hierarchs Chapel's Sunday community welcomed special guest St. Nicholas for his annual visit to St. Vladimir's Seminary. As is customary, the identity of the good saint was hidden under his abundant white beard. During the celebration, grown ups and kids alike also enjoyed a potluck meal, after which St. Nicholas presented each child with a gift.
The following week, students finished papers, sat for finals, and joyfully made travel and holiday arrangements while breathing a collective sigh of relief at the end of the term.
