Sunday Bulletin - Announcements for the Sunday Bulletin Are Lisa Bedian, Due in the Church Office by 5:00 Pm on Wednesday Preceding Advisor the Date of Service November 29, 2020 HOLY VIRGIN MARY AND SHOGHAGAT ARMENIAN CHURCH 400 Huntwood Road, Belleville, IL 62226-1824 BellevilleArmenianChurch.org [email protected] Rev. Fr. Voskan Hovhannisyan, Pastor S UNDAY B ULLETIN Scripture Readings 1 Thessalonians 4:1-11 Luke 13:1-9 What Is Advent? “Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” (James 5:8) dvent means “coming”—the coming of Christ. It is the 50-day periodA during which we prepare to cele- brate the Nativity and Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the Arme- nian Church, Advent lasts approximately two weeks longer than it in the Western churches, hence the Armenian word for the season: Hisnag, “a 50-day period.” It is a time for us to think of the why of Christ- mas—why the greeting cards, the deco- rations, the gifts, the family gatherings? A time to look within our hearts to see if there is anything that stands between us and the Good News of Jesus’ birth. During Advent, we can rededicate ourselves to Christ through our ac- tions, thoughts, and prayers. This is a good time for us to improve our hab- its and offer them as gifts to God. Perhaps Advent can also be an occasion to discover God’s gifts all around us. We need to have an open heart to receive Christ—God’s greatest gift of all! We complain that Christmas is too “commercial,” but there is a way to live out the real “reason for the season.” Special Feasts and Fasts During Advent Hisnag is in a sense introduced by a week of fasting. The fast is officially known as “the Fast of the Beginning of Hisnag.” There is a second fast of a week’s duration following the third Sunday of Hisnag. This fast is known as “the Fast of St. James, Bishop of Nisibis.” The commemoration of the latter takes place on the following Saturday. The third and final fast, again of a week’s duration, precedes the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany of Christ our God, and that is how it is officially recognized in the calendar. During the remaining weeks of Hisnag when there is no fasting, the Wednesdays and Fridays are regularly observed as fasting days. The Armenian Church celebrates a number of feasts and observes some important commemorations during the 50 days of Hisnag. The Feast of the Presentation of the Holy Virgin to the Temple, as it has a fixed date, is celebrated on November 21st, even if it falls within the week of the fasting. On such occasions, the feast is celebrated liturgically, but the fasting prevails in dietary matters. The same practice is also observed during the Feast of the Conception of the Holy Virgin by St. Anna, which is always celebrated on December 9th. During the Hisnag we commemorate some of the important and major saints of the Christian Church. Among them are the 4th-century founders of Christian theology St. Gregory the Wonderworker and St. Basil of Cae- sarea; the Holy Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew, the enlighteners of Armenia; the Egyptian fathers; the early bishops of the church, such as St. Clemens, St. Ignatius, St. Polycarpus, St. Nicholas; St. James of Nisibis; and at the very end of the year, King David commemorated as a prophet; the Holy Apostle James, Brother of the Lord; St. Stephen the Protomartyr; the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul; the Holy Apostles James and John, both of them surnamed as Sons of Thunder. the first preachers of Christianity in Armenia postles St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew were two of the twelve Apostles of Christ, who came to Armenia and preached ChristianityA in Armenia deserving the title “the first illuminators”. Still at the dawn of Christianity they were martyred in Armenia. It was the result of their preaching and martyrdom that the Armenian people, being the first nation in the world, proclaimed Christianity as the state religion. Indeed, Apostles St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew played an important role in the history of 2000-year-old Christian Armenian nation which has unshak- en faith and keen love towards its Mother Church. The Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of Armenian Apostles on Second Saturday of Advent. According to Gospel of John, the Holy Lance is also known as the Lance of Longinus, the Spear of Destiny, or the Holy Spear and it is the very lance which pierced the side of Jesus while he was hanging on the cross. The first mention of the lance can be found in the Gospel of John (19:31-37). The Gospel states that the Romans were about to break Jesus’ legs (this is a practice known as cruri- fragium – a method of hastening death during a crucifixion). Before they start their harsh action, they re- alized that Jesus was already dead and there was no need to break His legs. In order to make sure that He was dead, a Roman soldier who is known in extra-Biblical tradition as Longinus stabbed Him in the side. It is believed that a Holy Lance is kept in Vagharshabad (now known as Echmiadzin), the religious capital and the holy center of Ar- menia. Some time ago it was held in the Mon- astery of Keghart. The history goes back to a thirteenth-cen- tury Armenian manuscript text of Holy Relics of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This text states that the Soorp Keghart was brought to the Armenia by the Apostle Thaddeus. The Feast of the Apostles St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew” is an amazing chance to see the Holy Lance which is taken to the Mother Ca- thedral in Echmiadzin. During the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, people have the opportunity to kiss it and get blessings from the Keghart. Years ago, Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II proclaimed the Feast of the Armenian Apostles as «Սուրբ Գեղարդի Ուխտի օր» [The Covenant Day of the Holy Spear]. GUIDANCE ON SUNDAY’S DIVINE LITURGY Ժամամուտ (Lintroit)։ «Միածին Որդի» (Meeadzeen Vortee) Ճաշու շարական (Midday Chant): ԴԿ «Որ անբաւելի» (Vor anpavelee) Երեքսրբեան (Trisagion): «Սուրբ Աստուած... որ յարեար ի մեռելոց» (Soorp Asdvadz... vor haryar ee merelots) Սրբասացութիւն (Soorpasatsootyoon): «Հրեշտակային» (Hreshdagayeen) SCRIPTURE READING The reader of the Holy Scripture is Nina Marifian. Alleluia, Alleluia. Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion; and to you prayers shall be offered in Jerusalem. The reading is from the First Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians (4:1-11) inally, brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live and to Fplease God (as, in fact, you are doing), you should do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you know how to control your own body in holiness and honor, not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one wrong or exploit a brother or sister in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness. Therefore whoever rejects this rejects not human authority but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you. Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do love all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, beloved, to do so more and more, to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own af- fairs, and to work with your hands, as we directed you. Alleluia, Alleluia. Resurrection according to the mode proper to the day. TODAY’S HOLY GOSPEL The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke 13:1-9 that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose bloodAt Pilate had mingled with their sacri- fices. He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all oth- er Galileans? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did.” Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, “See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’ He replied, “Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.” LET’S LEARN THE WORDS OF THE DIVINE LITURGY Խորհուրդ փրկական [khorhoort pur- gagan] – saving mystery Զփրկագործ չարչարանսն [uzpurgakordz charcharansun] – re- demptive sufferings Զկենսատու խաչելութիւնն [uzgensadoo khachelootyonn] – life-giv- ing crucifixion Զերեքօրեայ թաղումնն [zerekorya taghoomnun] – burial for three days Զերանելի յարութիւնն [zeranelee harootyoonun] – blessed resur- rection REQUIEM SERVICE At the end of Divine Liturgy we will ask prayer for the souls’ salvation of; Mesrob and Helen Marsoobian Andon and Nevrig Margoian requested by Marifian Family.

Much discussed by historians of the crusades, it deserves wider attention as a case study of a particular type of legal case: one where contending political and social factions agree to put their dispute to a test, a test whose outcome they then attempt to influence. Despite the canonical hesitancy over the legitimacy of the practice of the ordeal, 2 at the time of the First Crusade the trial by ordeal was a powerful tradition, invoked especially in circumstances where other evidence was lacking.3 In his An Introduction to English Legal History, however, J.H.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.

  • The Discovery of the True Cross in Jerusalem in 1099 : Evidence and Reconsideration
    BARTŁOMIEJ DŹWIGAŁA Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego Instytut Historii ORCID: 0000-0003-3762-3917 The Discovery of the True Cross in Jerusalem in 1099 : Evidence and Reconsideration Key w ords: Relic of the Cross, True Cross, Kingdom of Jerusalem, First Crusade The discovery of the True Cross in Jerusalem just after the successful end of the First Crusade is probably one of the most baffling and neglected events in the history of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.1 Contemporaries perceived this miraculous discovery as the crowning point of the expedition, as well as a tangible sign of God’s favour, which is evident in the first letter sent by Pope Paschal II to the crusaders.2 The cen- trality of the Cross in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem is confirmed in a letter that Warmund, the patriarch of Jerusalem, sent to the archbishop of Santiago Compostela, where he stated that “we are ready to die rather than desert the holy city of Jerusalem and the Lord’s Cross and the most Holy Sepulchre of Christ.”3 These words clearly show that the responsibility for the protection of the True Cross was a key element in the identity of the crusader monarchy. The True Cross is alleged to have been discovered by Helena, mother of Con- stantine the Great. The legend of Helena’s finding of the Cross must have originated in the second half of the fourth century, most likely in Jerusalem.4 Relics of the Cross had spread across the Roman Empire by the middle of the fourth century and quickly 1 I would like to thank the De Brzezie Lanckoronski Foundation for its generous support, which allowed me to spent August 2018 in London and use the rich collections of the Warburg Institute Li- brary and the Institute of Historical Research Library.

  • Resurrection of the Lord April 21, 2019 Homily for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of St
    Resurrection of the Lord April 21, 2019 Homily for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of St. Thomas More Catholic Parish celebrated at St. Joseph Catholic Church 116 Theodore St. Scranton, PA 18508 John 20:1-9 On the tenth anniversary of our parish’s first pilgrimage to Rome, a number of our parishioners returned to the Eternal City. We had a great tour guide, who took us into St. Peter’s Basilica and spent a good amount of time with us underneath that church’s massive dome. The four pillars that hold up the dome double as shrines for some of the most important relics in all of Christendom. One of the pillars holds the lance that was used to pierce the side of Christ as he hung dead upon the Cross, causing the fifth of our Lord’s glorious wounds. At first glance it seems ridiculous that the Church should possess one of the weapons that was used in our Lord’s Passion. After all, the lance belongs not to the disciples of Jesus, but to the band of soldiers who literally killed Jesus, the ones who physically nailed him to the tree. But then we read the Book of Acts, from which we heard this morning, and the church’s possession of the soldiers’ lance no longer seems so implausible. The context of St. Peter’s speech in our first lesson is the conversion to the Catholic faith of Cornelius, the Roman centurion whom, with his household, St. Peter brought into the Church. This is the same speech in which the first Pope asserted, “Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him” (Acts 10:34-35).

  • The Crown of His Kingdom: Imperial Ideology, Palace Ritual, and the Relics of Christ's Passion
    Holger A. Klein The Crown of His Kingdom: Imperial Ideology, Palace Ritual, and the Relics of Christ’s Passion* In his well-known eyewitness account of the palace revolt of John “the Fat” Komnenos, likely written shortly after the events in the summer of 1201, Nikolaos Mesarites, then skevophylax of the churches inside the imperial palace, vividly described the sacred contents of the Church of the Virgin of the Pharos, a small but precious building located, as Patriarch Photios records, “in the very midst of the palace” (ἐν μέσοις αὐτοι˜ς ἀνακτόροις) and in close proximity to both the imperial apartments and the throne room, the Chrysotriklinos.1 Like the Chrysotriklinos, the church of the Virgin had been rebuilt and lavishly refurbished under emperor Michael III (842–867) after the end of Iconoclasm, and it gradually assumed the role of the empire’s most important repository of sacred relics, a locus sanctus at the very epicenter of imperial power and a new Jerusalem at the heart of the Byzantine Empire.2 Unlike earlier authors, who described the imperial relic collection, Mesarites framed his account in a rather unusual way, comparing the palace church metaphorically to the Garden of Eden and the Ark of the Covenant, and its sacred contents to the Ten Commandments: Hear from my lips the divine account, and learn how these ten treasures are called. […] First, there is the Crown of Thorns displayed for veneration, still fresh and green and unwithered, since it had a share in immor- tality through its contact with the head of Christ the Lord, refuting the still-unbelieving Jews, who do not bow down to worship the cross of Christ.

  • Entry Into the Sacred Heart Is for Everyone
    Entry into the Sacred Heart is for Everyone March 2009 Dear Friends of the Heart of Christ, There is a scene in The Passion of the Christ movie that gives me much thought for this Lenten Sacred Heart reflection. On Mount Calvary at the time when Jesus dies for us, one of the soldiers present takes his long spear and thrusts it into the ribs of Christ-aiming right for his heart. Jesus seems to have expired and this will not leave any doubt. Gathering storm clouds urge him on for he does not want to be caught in the violent winds and rains that have begun to pelt him. Recall the characters played by the soldiers and the terrible sufferings they wreck on Jesus. They are portrayed as heartless, mocking, crude, there to do a job and be over with it. Inflicting suffering on others makes them feel powerful, in control, dominant. As the centurion takes his long, steel-tipped spear and jabs it into the flesh of the dead Christ, a stream of blood and water literally flies out at him spurting over him into his face and eyes. In an instant he is changed. He is no longer the arrogant, jesting, hard-hearted person he was but is transformed both physically and spiritually. He thus proclaims, “In truth this man was the Son of God.” Tradition has named this soldier Longinus-a latinized form of the Greek word longche which means spear. A statue of him as Saint Longinus appears in the Vatican by the famous artist Bernini.

Trevor Ravenscroft PROLOGUE THE MOULD OF A LEGEND “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. “And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. “For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, ‘a bone of Him shall not be broken*. “And again another scripture saith, ‘They shall look on Him whom they have pierced*.” S a i n t J o h n 1 9 , 3 4 - 3 7 In the final chapters of the Gospel of Saint John it is told how a soldier pierced the side of Christ with a Spear. The name of this soldier was Gaius Cassius and he attended the crucifixion as the official Roman representative for the Pro-Consul, Pontius Pilate. Cataracts in both eyes prevented this veteran officer from battle service with his Legion and instead he reported on the religious and political scene in Jerusalem. For two years Gaius Cassius had followed the activities of a certain Jesus of Nazareth who claimed to be the Messiah and looked like undermining the authority of the Roman occupation of Israel. The Roman centurion watched the Legionaries carry out the execution of Jesus Christ and like them, too, he was impressed by the courage, dignity and bearing of the Nazarene on the Cross.

  • Religion and Conflict: Investigating the Role of Relics and Holy Sites in the Religiously Diverse Society of Crusader Famagusta, Cyprus
    Chapter 3 Religion and Conflict: Investigating the Role of Relics and Holy Sites in the Religiously Diverse Society of Crusader Famagusta, Cyprus Tomasz Borowski 1 Medieval Cult of Relics and Holy Places Relics are the preserved remains of a saint or holy person (corporeal rel- ics), or objects with which they came into physical contact, such as clothing (secondary or contact relics). Their power to heal is mentioned in the Bible in passages describing a miracle associated with the mantle of Elijah (Kings 2:9–14) and ascribing curative powers to cloths that had been touched by St. Paul (Acts 19:11–12). The cult of relics found a place among the earliest Chris- tian communities, though their veneration has a far older history and is shared by many religions of the world. From a medieval Christian perspective, relics represented the living physical presence of a saint in the world and, on the Day of the Last Judgment, they would be reassembled to become part of the saint’s glorified body. Mere possession was itself a visible sign of piety but, more than that, relics were the medium through which a saint could manifest his or her will.1 The cult of relics and holy sites played a crucial role in the history of the crusades. The desire to liberate holy places occupied by the Muslims and to reopen the pilgrimage routes to the Levant was the principal driving force be- hind the Latin capture of Jerusalem in 1099 and the establishment of the first crusader states. Once liberated, pilgrimage shrines continued to shape the ev- eryday reality of those who lived in their proximity.

  • Crusaders Under Siege: the Battle of Antioch in Documents And
    Crusaders Under Siege: The Battle of Antioch in Documents and Historical Narrative Jacob M. Rambin History Faculty advisor: Chris Craun By the 2nd of June, 1098, Crusading armies of the West during the First Crusade had been laying continuous siege to the Turkish-held city of Antioch for nearly 8 months. On the 2nd, they took the city of Antioch only to find they were themselves under siege in the very city they had fought so hard to take. This siege of the city by the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, was to last from the 7th of June to the 28th and would try the very heart of the Crusading army as they attempted to break the siege. There was no time to replenish their supplies or even to clear the streets of the rotting dead left over from the previous battle. Because of this, the Crusaders suffered from starvation and disease throughout this grueling period. The Crusading army was trapped and unable to flee, leaving them with quite literally only two options, victory or annihilation. In their desperation, rather than collapse into disorder and chaos, their suffering found its way to the safety valve of mysticism and credulity. A monk, Peter Bartholomew, came forward reporting visions of the Holy Lance which he claimed could be found buried under the floor of the cathedral of St. Peter. The chronicles agree that a relic was indeed found and presented as the Lance, but many of the chroniclers and participants considered it a fraud placed there for CLA Journal 1 (2013) pp.
