December 8, 2019 – 25th Sunday after Pentecost Venerable Patapius of Thebes Saint Patapius was born at Thebes into a pious Christian family. Reaching the age of maturity, he scorned the vanities of the world and so went into the Egyptian desert where he became known for his ascetic deeds. Though he wished to dwell in silence, people began to come to him for advice. He went eventually to Constantinople, where he obtained a cell at the city wall, near the Blachernae church. But here, too, he quickly became known. The sick began to throng about, and he, having been vouchsafed the gift of healing, began to help all the needy. There was a youth who was possessed by a terrible demon. At times, the demon tore at the young man's garments, leaving him totally naked; on other occasions, the youth was cast over precipices and into ditches. He was also thrown into water, where he was in serious danger of drowning. As the youth was walking on the road one day, the demon seized him and was about to cast him into the sea.

  • The Arsenite Schism and the Babai Rebellion: Two Case Studies
    THE ARSENITE SCHISM AND THE BABAI REBELLION: TWO CASE STUDIES IN CENTER-PERIPHERY RELATIONS by Hüsamettin ŞİMŞİR Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Sabancı University June 2018 © Hüsamettin Şimşir 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE ARSENITE SCHISM AND THE BABAI REBELLION: TWO CASE STUDIES IN CENTER-PERIPHERY RELATIONS Hüsamettin Şimşir M.A Thesis, June 2018 Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Fac. Member Ferenc Péter Csirkés This thesis aims to present an analysis of the interaction between Christians and Muslims in the west of Asia Minor at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th centuries after two religious-social movements in the Byzantine and the Rum Seljuk Empires, the Arsenite Schism and the Babai Rebellion. After the unsuccessful rebellion of the Babais, antinomian dervishes who had migrated to the west of Asia Minor because of a heavy oppression as well as inquisition by the state and had a different religious belief apart from the mainstream religious understanding of the center initiated missionary activities in the regions along the Byzantine border. Accordingly, these dervishes had joined the military activities of the Turcoman chieftains against the Byzantines and interacted with the local Christian population and religious figures. As a result of this religious interaction, messianic and ascetic beliefs were increasingly present among the Greek-speaking population as well as spiritual leaders of western Anatolia. Since such interfaith and cross- cultural interaction had a considerable impact on the course of all these events, this thesis focuses on them to create a better understanding of the appearance of the Hesychasm in the Byzantine spiritual environment in the later period.

    TENTH SUNDAY OF LUKE December 8, 2013 Saints Commemorated today: St. Patapios of Thebes, and Sts. Apollo, Tychikos, Sosthenes, Cephas, Epaphroditos, Caesar & Onesiphoros, Apostles of the Seventy EPISTLE READING Ephesians 2:14-22 Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. GOSPEL READING Luke 13:10-17 At that time, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God.

  • “Anti-Patristic” Nature of Our Ecclesiology of Resistance a Response to the Orthodox Christian Information Center Website 
    Statement on the Supposed “Anti-Patristic” Nature of Our Ecclesiology of Resistance A Response to the Orthodox Christian Information Center Website The Deficient Scholarship of Monk Basil’s Comments on the Allegedly Anti-Patristic Stand of the So-Called “Old Calendarist Zealots” By Hieromonk Patapios Academic Director, Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies St. Gregory Palamas Monastery, Etna, California I. Part One: Introductory Remarks to the O.C.I.C. Webmaster, Patrick Barnes Dear Patrick, May God bless you. I hope that you will allow me, as you did once before in answering some rather ill-conceived reactions by one of your readers to Archbishop Chry- sostomos’ comments on Jewish traditions (“Menstruation, Emissions, and http://www.orthodoxinfo.com. - - Holy Communion”), to respond to your recent posting about the ecclesiology of resistance. The article by Monk Basil of the Gregoriou Monastery on Mt. Athos, which you reproduce and extensively introduce in this posting (rather awk- wardly translated and entitled “Anti-Patristic: The Stance of the Zealot Old Calendarists”) is well known to us. Inchoate, polemical, insulting, bereft of any real scholarly substance, drawing half-truths from the misuse of historical and Patristic texts, and posturing as a Patristic commentary, it does little to address the real issues of so-called Old Calendarist zealotry. In his observations, which are basically a response to an earlier article (written in 1999) by Father Nicholas Demaras on the ecclesiology of resistance (criti- cizing the Gregoriou Monastery for not walling itself off from the Orthodox ecumenists), Father Basil (a former “zealot” who, I am told but have not confirmed, is now an Archimandrite in Crete) comes to sweepingly broad conclusions drawn from difficult canonical, historical, and Patristic texts that he presents in a naive and, of course, self-serving way, grinding his axe on a soft stone.

  • ELDER PAISIOS an OBSTACLE for THOSE BENT on DESTROYING OUR LAND and ITS CIVILIZATION by Leontios Monahos Dionysiates
    ELDER PAISIOS AN OBSTACLE FOR THOSE BENT ON DESTROYING OUR LAND AND ITS CIVILIZATION by Leontios Monahos Dionysiates 01. An occasion for remembering the Elder’s contribution. The occasion arises from the slanderous statements written against Elder Paisios by a miserable individual on Facebook, which was followed by support from individuals even more miserable. From the news: “The 27 year old, according to the official announcement, was the administrator of a page on Facebook which contained blasphemous and defaming content against Elder Paisios and Orthodox Christianity. Regarding the defaming and blasphemous content of that particular page, the Electronic Crimes Prosecution electronically received thousands of complaints by residents from all over the world.” Despite the post’s disgusting content, some people, in various places on the Internet, supportively wrote against the page’s removal… regarding the action as an affront to their “freedoms”… They most likely mean their “freedom” to defame rather than to argue. This is foreign not only to Christian thought but also to that of the ancient Greek philosophers, who were distinguished not because they insulted like uncivilized barbarians but because they were able to think and reason… This occurrence is not unique. Blasphemous works are displayed before every Christmas and Pasha… And in Russia, a similar blasphemy was committed at Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, from the group “Pussy Riot” in February 2012… And there also came support from some "Twittering parrots" who are blatantly ignorant of the fact that blasphemy is not a means of political libel (against President Putin) and that the group in question was tried with due process of law.

There he devoted himself to a life of asceticism, cleansing his heart of all earthly desires and thoughts for the sake of God’s love. When his virtues became known among the people, however, they came to him for solace in their sufferings. Fearing the praise of men, which darkens the minds and separates them from God, Patapios fled this wilderness to Constantinople, thinking he could hide himself more easily in a big city, but a light cannot be hidden. A child, blind from birth, was led by God’s providence to Patapios. He besought the saint to pray to God that he be given his sight to look upon God’s creation and praise Him all the more. Patapios, having compassion on the suffering child, prayed to God, and the child’s sight was restored.

However, all are wel- come to partake of the Blessed Bread of Fellowship and receive a Priest blessing at the end of the Divine Liturgy. We also invite you to join us for light refreshments and coffee following the Service, where we will be happy to meet with you and answer any question you may have about the Orthodox Faith.
