STARRY NIGHT – Daniel Belt, right, and Malachi Strong spin decorated stars at St. Michael’s Cathedral Tuesday night after a Christmas service. Orthodox churchgoers went Starring Tuesday night, beginning at the church rectory on Marine Street and then following the stars to houses and care facilities where they sang hymns. The Orthodox Church observes holidays using the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
