"Pilgrimage to Prayer. Peter and Helen Evans will be holding a prayer vigil on January 21 after vespers until midnight. Come (by yourself or in a group) and read Psalms or for silent prayer. Some will be preparing for the March for Life, others will be giving Thanks and gratitude in prayer for their lives, others may be asking for a relief of troubles for themselves or others. "http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/theveil_allicandoispray.aspx"
Orthodox or non-Orthodox, members of St. Nicholas "http://www.stnicholasdc.org/" or not - all are welcome. As the church is lit softly with candles only, it is a perfect atmosphere to "lay aside all earthly cares" and pray, or walk around and make a prayerful connection with the Saints in the icons, or make prostrations before the relics and feel their power.
If you would like to read the Psalms, e mail <we2rone@cox.net> to schedule a time; approximately 8:30 to 11:30. And if you just want to come yourself or with a group, please e mail us also so we can be sure the Mass Avenue door, which will be the only entrance during the night, will be open to you.
Also, we ask you to buy several candles to keep the church softly illuminated."
