While the Church celebration of Christmas is traditionally three days, the third day, because it is a Saturday, the Divine Liturgy will be at Holy Ascension. The first day of the New Year is a Solemn Feast in our Church. You are encouraged to observe this day by attending the Divine Liturgy. It will be at our usual time, 10 AM. I know this can be difficult if New Year’s Eve is overly celebratory. Try to make an effort. Lastly, the Church encourages us to prepare for Theophany by a day of fast/abstinence. Since we will be celebrating this on Sunday, January 4th, you are truly encouraged to observe Saturday, January 3rd, as that day of preparation. This means that Monday, January 5th is not a fast day for us. I truly hope this helps!
