It is now Winter in Winnipeg, Canada - freezing cold and snowy.
Snow covered the main entrance to the church building.
This is the site where we come out with the Holy Tabot, when the weather condition allows.
We wish it was nice and warm so that we could celebrate our Timket festival outside the church building.
353 Mountain, Winnipeg, MB is the address of our church.
The parking lot of the church is also covered by snow.

Despite the bad weather the church was packed with her children. Those who could not get seats were standing or sitting on the floor.
Our parishioners - the freezing cold weather and the snow can not stop them from coming to their mother church. Their love and dedication for their church and their spiritual father is so strong that even a snow storm and below -40 degrees temperature did not stop them from attending the church services!!
