Evensong and Benediction with the Enthronement of the Boy Bishop and Crowning of St Lucy , 5pm
Enthronement of the Boy Bishop & Crowning of St Lucy
Traditional ceremony of installing a boy bishop at Evensong. This medieval custom embodies the words of the Magnificat, “he hath exalted the humble of meek.” A youth, who is a leader in the parish, is chosen to be the boy bishop each year. He “serves” until the Feast of the Holy Innocents on December 28.
The medieval tradition of crowning a “St Lucy” and procession through the neighborhood honors the virgin martyr and again calls to mind the light of Jesus Christ that has come into the world.

Dr. Lauren Whitnah
St Timothy’s is pleased to welcome Dr. Lauren Whitnah, Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, to preach at the 9am and 11am masses on Sunday, December 7.
Dr. Lauren Whitnah has served as Dean of Nashotah House since August 2024. A medieval historian, Whitnah previously served on the teaching faculty of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and as research manager and associate director of the university’s Global Computing Lab.

As senior lecturer at UT, she taught more than 400 students annually in interdisciplinary classes exploring the history, politics, culture, art, religion, economics, and literature of Western Europe from ca. 300 to ca.1500. During the decade she taught Medieval and Renaissance studies at the university, the number of students pursuing majors and minors in that discipline tripled.

Whitnah has received numerous awards as an educator, including the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching at UT and the Award for Teaching Excellence from the Southeastern Medieval Association.

She has published and presented on topics including liturgical developments in veneration in the twelfth century, Aelred of Rievaulx and the saints of Hexham, and women at the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. She has taught at Episcopal and Anglican churches on a wide range of topics, including Benedictine monasticism, the life and work of Hildegard of Bingen, and medieval devotional art.

Holy Hour
The spiritual life must have silence to develop. In the world today, there is a lot of speaking, but not a lot of listening. Let us come in the still of the evening and sit before the sacramental presence of Our Lord. Listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for the world and reflect on our own participation in the cacophony of spiritual noise. This hour will be be silent. No preaching, no speaking, just silence and at the close of the hour, Benediction.
