IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM FATHER DEMETRIOS GARDIKES AND THE ANNUNCIATION SAFETY COMMITTEE September 12, 2021 My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We continue to follow the guidelines as received from the Pittsburgh Metropolis. Currently, our requirement to wear masks and observe physical distancing within our worship space, church events and meetings remains lifted for those who have been vaccinated. In addition, the Metropolis is instructing us to follow the civil guidelines of our county and city. As we understand, the city of Columbus is moving to enforce an indoor mask order in public places. We will not require masks to attend the cathedral services. As per metropolis instruction, we will not be asking people to demonstrate their vaccinated status for entry into the Church and we must operate on the honor system, trusting that people will be responsible when entering our parishes and participating in parish events.” However, the Annunciation Cathedral strongly encourages ALL parishioners to wear masks when in the Cathedral complex for your protection and for the protection of other parishioners. Even those who have been vaccinated and who exhibit no symptoms can spread Covid-19 to other persons. We will remain within the Metropolis guidelines to offer space for those who still wish to distance their self and wear masks. We will expand this space. The back five pews of the north pews in the nave will be designated for anyone who wishes to continue to observe physical distancing and wear masks. These five pews will remain sectioned off for this purpose. The remainder of the north pews and the south pews in the nave will be open seating and masks are optional. Please do not sit in the designated space without a mask. We continue to monitor the Pandemic conditions and the restrictions as guided by the metropolis and civil authorities, “if any pandemic restrictions remain in your county or state regarding non-worship activities those restrictions must be observed.” The office remains open Monday thru Friday as normal, except during holidays. You are welcome to come in throughout the week and light candles or we are happy to do it for you. In the meantime, we pray for all of you, and the world, especially those who are sick and directly working to fight off this virus on our behalf. The Lord bless and keep all of us safe! With Love in Christ, +Fr Demetrios Gardikes and the Annunciation Safety Committee WELCOME TO THE ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL! We are so happy that you are worshipping with us today! If you are visiting, please fill out a "Visitor Information Card," located in the Narthex, and give it to a Parish Council member at the candle stand in the Narthex. If you are an Orthodox Christian new to the Columbus area, or if you would like to know more about becoming an Orthodox Christian, please introduce yourself to one of the priests who would be most happy to meet with you and discuss membership in our Cathedral. It is our desire that you make the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral your spiritual home! May God richly bless you and your family! FOR THE RECEPTION OF HOLY COMMUNION We welcome all Christians not fully united with us. It is a consequence of the sad divisions of Christianity that we cannot extend to all a general invitation to receive Holy Communion. Orthodox Christians believe that the Eucharist is an action of the celebrating community signifying a oneness in faith, life, and worship. Reception of the Eucharist by Christians not fully united with us would imply a oneness which does not yet exist and for which we must all pray. DIVINE LITURGY BOOK There are additions that are used in a monastery, but not necessarily in a parish church. Please refer to the following instructions: • The variable Small Entrance hymns (next page) are sung on Page 13. • After the Gospel reading on Page 19, go to Page 29. • On Page 51-53, skip the petitions that are in red. • After Page 57, skip to Page 61 (60-61). Note the word change and addition to the pre-communion prayer. Thanksgiving prayers start on Page 73. MISSION STATEMENT OF OUR PARISH Our community, united in our Orthodox Christian faith, aspires to live a Christ-centered life as set forth by our Holy Tradition. Strengthened by our Hellenic culture and the actions and sacrifices of our Greek-American founders and predecessors, we live as one, multicultural parish family sharing Christ’s love in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. CORE VALUES We renew our faith continually through active participation in worship, sacraments, discipleship and prayer. We experience a sense of acceptance, joy, peace, belonging and “koinonia” to all in our community and to all those that walk through our doors as one family. We follow Jesus’ command to “Go Forth” by sharing Christ’s love beyond our cathedral walls to those in physical and spiritual need. We are responsible to inspire and teach future generations on the traditions and values of living our Orthodox faith. We commit, in thanksgiving, our time, talent and treasure to support our cathedral by safeguarding the ministerial, physical and financial needs to ensure the health of His Church and to further the Gospel message now and in the future. We create an environment where we respect our collective cultural identities while celebrating our Hellenic traditions, history, language, and heritage.

It is the fifth of the Romance languages in terms of number of speakers. It is spoken as a first language by somewhere around 24 to 26 million people, and enjoys official status in Romania, Moldova and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Serbia). The official form of the Moldovan language in the Republic of Moldova is identical to the official form of Romanian save for a minor rule in spelling. Romanian is also an official or administrative language in various communities and organisations (such as the Latin Union and the European Union – the latter as of 2007). It is a melodious language that has basically the same sounds as English with a few exceptions. These entered the language because of the slavic influence and of many borrowing made from the neighboring languages. It uses the Latin alphabet which makes it easy to spell and read.

  • Little Compline for Akathist Saturday
    The Office of Little Compline with the Akathist Canon and Hymn **As served on the fifth Friday of Great Lent** **Instructions** An icon of the Theotokos (preferably the one described in the Synaxarion below) is placed on a stand in the middle of the solea. The candles are lit and the church is semi-illumined. The censer is used only for the stases of the Akathist Hymn. The curtain and Holy Doors are closed until the priest begins the first stasis of the Akathist Hymn. The priest wears a blue epitrachelion over his exorasson and starts Little Compline in front of the icon. Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Choir: Amen. Priest: Glory to Thee, O God, glory to Thee. O heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art in all places, and fillest all things, Treasury of good things, and Giver of life, come, and dwell in us, and cleanse us from every stain; and save our souls, O good One. People: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy Name’s sake. Lord, have mercy. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

  • The Third Sunday of Easter We Are Witnesses to the Resurrection
    The Third Sunday of Easter We Are Witnesses to the Resurrection During these weeks after Easter, the Church highlights various aspects of the Easter Mystery for us so that we can grow in our understanding of Jesus’ resurrection and its meaning for our lives. Witnesses to the Resurrection: In today’s first reading, taken from the Acts of the Apostles, the Liturgy describes how the resurrection of Jesus transformed the lives of his first followers. The apostles, who had failed miserably when Jesus was arrested and handed over to be crucified, have now become bold witnesses of his resurrection. They are no longer afraid to proclaim their faith in Jesus because they now believe that he is risen and alive. And so they say to the world: We are witnesses of these things as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him. The apostles have become witnesses to the resurrection, and they testify to the world that Jesus is risen and alive. They testify that God’s power is stronger than the power of death. They testify that God has vanquished the power of sin through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Being a witness to the resurrection is an apt description of what it means to be a Catholic and a Christian today. As followers of Christ, it is our mission to testify to the world that the crucified Christ is risen and alive. It is our mission to testify that the power of Christ’s resurrection is stronger than the power of sin and death.

  • Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 from His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH
    Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 From His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH The Royal Hours & Typika are served on the morning of Friday, January 04, which is the day BEFORE the Paramon (Eve). Therefore, we sing the Apolytikion of the Forefeast: Be thou ready, Zebulon… (HTM Horologion 369, Nassar 433). The Royal Hours may each be offered in either of the following orders: Consecutively, starting at 9:00 AM in the following manner: start the First Royal Hour with “Blessed is our God,” and OMIT the Dismissal at the end of each Hour (except the last), and OMIT the section between “Blessed is our God” to right before “Come let us worship” in the Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours. SIMPLY PUT, OMIT THE BOXED PORTIONS OF THE TEXT. At their usual times (6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, Noon and 3:00 PM), with the Ninth Royal Hour and Typika being served at 3:00 PM, followed immediately by Daily Vespers of Paramon (Eve) of Theophany. Alternatively, Vespers may be celebrated in the early evening hours. The Priest performs the Great Censing of the entire church at the start of the First and Ninth Royal Hours, and the Small Censing from the Beautiful Gate (Holy Doors) – like he would before the Great Entrance in Divine Liturgy – at the start of the Third and Sixth Royal Hours. NOTE: We do NOT celebrate Divine Liturgy on Friday, January 04. Our Patriarchate of Antioch reminds us that we follow this same pattern at Pascha, when Royal Hours are served on Holy Friday, and Divine Liturgies are celebrated only on the weekend.
