St. Theodosius Orthodox Cathedral Ambo - Page 1 Andrew, Archbishop of Crete, was born in the city of into a pious Christian family. Up until seven years of age the boy was mute and did not talk. However, after communing the Holy Mysteries of Christ he found the gift of speech and began to speak. And from that time the lad began earnestly to study Holy Scrip- ture and the discipline of .

At fourteen years of age he went off to and there he accepted monastic tonsure at the monastery of St Sava the Sanctified. St Andrew led a strict and chaste life, he was meek and abstinent, such that all were amazed at his virtue and reasoning of mind. As a man of talent and known for his virtuous life, over the passage of time he came to be numbered among the Jerusalem clergy and was appointed a secretary for the Patriar- chate -- a writing clerk. In the year 680 the locum tenens of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, Theodore, included Andrew among the representatives of the Holy City sent to the Sixth Ecumenical Council, and here the saint contended against heretical teachings, relying upon his profound knowledge of Orthodox doctrine. Shortly after the Council he was summoned back to from Jerusalem and he was appointed archdeacon at the church of , the Wisdom of God. During the reign of the emperor Justinian II (685-695) St Andrew was ordained of the city of Gortineia on the island of Crete. In his new position he shone forth as a true luminary of the Church, a great hierarch -- a theologian, teacher and hymnographer.

St Andrew wrote many liturgical hymns. He was the originator of a new liturgical form -- the . Of the can- ons composed by him the best known is the Great Penitential Canon, including within its 9 odes the 250 troparia recited during the . In the First Week of Lent at the service of it is read in portions (thus called "methymony" [trans. note: from the useage in the service of Compline of the "God is with us", in Sla- vonic the "S'nami Bog", or in Greek "Meth' Humon ho Theos", from which derives "methymony"], and again on Thursday of the Fifth Week at the All-night Vigil during .

St Andrew of Crete gained renown with his many praises of the All-Pure Virgin Mary. To him are likewise as- cribed: the Canon for the feast of the Nativity of Christ, three odes for the Compline of and also in the first four days of Holy Passion Week, as well as verses for the feast of the Meeting of the Lord, and many another church-song. His hynographic tradition was continued by the churchly great melodists of following ages: , Cosma of Maium, Joseph the Melodist, Theophan the Written-upon. There have also been preserved edifying Sermons of St Andrew for certain of the Church feasts.

Church historians are not of the same opinion as to the date of death of the saint. One suggests the year 712, while others -- the year 726. He died on the island of , while returning to Crete from Constantinople, where he had been on churchly business. His were transferred to Constantinople. In the year 1350 the pi- ous Russian pilgrim Stephen Novgorodets saw the relics at the Constantinople monastery named for St Andrew of Crete.

Margaret Rusynyk 440-238-7867 St. Theodosius Orthodox Cathedral Ambo - Page 4 ROSE WINDOW PROJECT There is a need to repair and repaint the exterior surfaces of the three large rose windows on the church. These windows were last painted during the renovation eight years ago. It is time to do some routine maintenance. You may have noticed water beginning to seep onto the interior walls. Due to the size and unique nature of these beautiful windows, an outside repair company has been asked to perform these repairs This repair project is budgeted at $10,000. To date we have collected $6,155.00. Since we are unable to fund this large expense from our usual collections, you are being asked to consider supplementing your normal contributions with donation earmarked for the Rose Window Repair Project. The repairs will begin as soon as sufficient funds are received in order to minimize the progress of the water damage. The AMBO will regularly show the progress of the fund raising.
