The Life of St. Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, England
A reading of the Life of St. Hilda of Whitby (+680). St. Hilda, by her wisdom and purity, led many to Christ, including many Bishops who were trained at the Monastery in Whitby that she established. Whitby is on the east coast of England and the Abbey ruins are a pilgrimage site today. We commemorate her on November 17.
Holy Abbess Hilda, pray to God for us!
The text is found in the Saints of England's Golden Age published by the Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies.

Bell ringing from St Mary's Church, Whitby, England
Whitby is a small seaside in North Yorkshire, England. Rich with history, one of its famous associations is with the notorious horror novel Dracula. Bram Stoker wrote of vampire Count Dracula in 1897, telling the grim story of his departure from Transylvania and his voyage that runs aground on the shores of Whitby.
Next to Saint Mary's Church lays the ruins of Whitby Abbey. Both churches looking down onto the town chills the atmosphere, making Dracula right at home.
