Saint Job Of Pochaiv: Julian & Gregorian Calendars
First, I’d like to thank the Los Alamos Daily Post for dedicating the space for churches to post their schedules for Christmas services. It is a good thing to gather together in thanksgiving and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
You may or may not have noticed that Saint Job of Pochaiv was not included on that list last week. This was not an oversight. We do in fact celebrate the birth of Christ; it is a feast second only in rank of honor to the Resurrection at Pascha (Easter). Read More

HISTORY News:
Los Alamos is known worldwide as the birthplace of the atomic bomb. Our history and the people who made it have an international reach.

We bring this up because of the convergence of two points: the continued housing shortage in Los Alamos and a document we recently ran across in our Archives, “Disposal of the Los Alamos Read More

Los Alamos
‘Tis time for the story of the Christmas miracle. This is my Christmas miracle, and it happened just last year, so this is the first time I have told the story. I am quite certain after you hear the remarkable details you will want to include this tale in your own Christmas story repertoire. Please feel free.
It is early Christmas morning and I am using a new sweet potato recipe in preparation for our holiday dinner. I am very excited about this recipe because I usually find sweet potato casseroles to be too sugary, but this one sounds delicious.
The recipe requires orange Read More

Fr. Glenn: Lessons From A Coyote
Walking across our frigid parking lot last Thursday morning, as I often do I saw a coyote trotting along the edge in that characteristic coyote lope … returning from her journey to who-knows-where (likely scavenging around the high school … gnawing on tender freshmen now and again?) But this isn’t just any ol’ coyote; she’s the same one I’ve seen skulking about since early spring—easily recognized by an apparent malady reducing her fur to a minimum. Indeed, it often required a long look to confirm her really AS a coyote.
