On Sunday, Feb 1st, St. George celebrated the Feast of “The Meeting of the Lord in the Temple” (or "Papandia" in Albanian). The feast was transferred from February 2nd, which is the day it is normally celebrated. Thanks to Nardi Tollkuci who read the Gospel lesson for this day in Albanian. Addtionally, the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple is the Teuta Ladies Society’s Patronal Feast Day. Along with the Teuta Society, the St. George parish celebrated their Patronal Feast Day with prayers after Divine Liturgy. Traditionally the Teuta Society offers 5 loaves, wheat, wine and oil for the celebration, and grure, (a boiled-wheat confection) for the health of the parish family. The "Queen Teuta" Ladies Society of St. George was formed/organized in 1931.  This year, (2026), the parish recognizes and thanks them for their 95 years of service to St. George.  May God grant them all many years! Below please find a few photos.
