St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral Prepares For Enthronement of Its New Metropolitan
The weekend of St. Nicholas Day, which traditionally falls on Dec. 6, will be a special one for an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Boerum Hill, as it hosts the enthronement service for its new metropolitan bishop.
St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral on State Street, which traces its heritage back to Antioch of first-century Christianity, will celebrate the enthronement of the new Metropolitan JOSEPH with a series of events from Dec. 5-7. (Traditionally, Antiochian and other Eastern-Rite Orthodox Christians completely capitalize the given names of their metropolitans and patriarchs.)
