  • Cycle of Services in the Eastern Orthodox Church Compiled by Archimandrite Nektarios Serfes
    Cycle of Services in the Eastern Orthodox Church Compiled By Archimandrite Nektarios Serfes Introduction by Father Nektarios Serfes: Nothing is so spiritually uplifting, and so rewarding then prayer before God in the Church. The Orthodox Church has a cycle of services, and all of us should make every means to attend these services. It’s not really how long are these services, but what we put into them that is spiritually rewarding. When the Church calls us to prayer, we should rush with great Christian love to go to these services, and give our Lord God due honor and worship, at the same time we should think about our spiritual relationship with our God, and our path to our salvation. During these cycle of services we begin to realize how much our Lord God loves us, and wants us to be a part of His Kingdom. We can participate in His Kingdom in prayer, and we can behold His great spiritual beauty as we gaze around the Church and behold Him, as well as the opening arms of the Mother of God, the saints, the prophets, the apostles, and the martyrs all surrounding us with their prayers and intercession on our behalf, what a blessing! Then again preparations before the Divine Liturgy are spiritually necessary, and that is if when we will go to Holy Communion, we should consider speaking to our priest about going to Holy Confession. We also should fast from certain foods anticipation of receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, i.e. at the least, fast from meats on Wednesday and Friday, and all foods and liquids the morning of the liturgy unless these are deemed necessary for medical reasons.

He was the firstborn son of George Terra and Sylvia Dinelli, followed by his two younger brothers, Donald and Leonard. In Russ’ childhood, the Terra family lived in Sacred Heart Parish in East Sacramento but when Saint Mary Parish, established in 1906, moved to the 58th and M Street site in 1948, Sacred Heart parish was divided and the Terra family’s residence was in the territorial boundaries of Saint Mary Parish which was staffed by the Oblates of Saint Joseph.

In that era, a child could begin school either in the fall or the winter semester. Russ did well in school and was advanced a half year in first grade to second grade. He believes this was not a good idea because he was too young to be moved forward to the second grade at age 6.

  • The Icon of the Pochayiv Mother of God: a Sacred Relic Between East and West
    The Icon of the Pochayiv Mother of God: A Sacred Relic between East and West Franklin Sciacca Hamilton College Clinton, New York Introduction There are myriad icons of the Mother of God that are designated as “miracle-working” (chudotvornyi in Ukrainian and Russian) in the Orthodox and Catholic lands of Eastern Europe. Thaumaturgic powers are often ascribed to the icon itself and therefore such panels are venerated with particular devotion. Pilgrims seek physical contact with these objects. From the lands of medieval Kievan Rus’, there are four surviving icons with Byzantine pedigree that achieved “miracle- working” status as early as the 11th c.: The Vladimir icon (known in Ukrainian tradition as Vyshhorod, after the location of the convent north of Kiev where it was originally kept); the Kievo-Pechersk icon of the Dormition; the Kholm icon (attributed to Evangelist Luke); and the so-called Black Madonna of Częstochowa (originally housed in Belz, and for the last 600 years in the Jasna Gora monastery in Poland). All of them are surrounded by complex folkloric legends of origin and accounts of miraculous interventions. In later centuries, numerous other wonder-working icons appeared in Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Polish, Balkan lands, Figure 1: Pochayiv Mother Of among which is a relative late-comer (known from the late 16th c.)--The icon God in Dormition Cathedral, of the Mother and Child that was venerated at the Pochayiv monastery in Western Pochayiv Lavra. Ukraine. This small, originally domestic, icon achieved significant cult status throughout Eastern Europe, both in Orthodox and Catholic milieus. This article seeks to examine the origin of the icon in the context of the development of the monastery whose reputation was built as its repository.
