Please make every effort to attend these worship services on time. Sat Feb 2 Presentation of Our Lord Hebrews 7:7-17 Luke 2:22-40 Sun Feb 3 16th Sunday of Matthew II Corinthians 6:1-10 Matthew 25:14-30 Sun Feb 10 Sunday of the Canaanite II Timothy 2:1-10 Matthew 15:21-28 Sun Feb 17 The Publican and Pharisee II Timothy 3:10-15 Luke 18:10-14 Sun Feb 24 Sunday of the Prodigal Son II Corinthians 4:6-15 Luke 15:11-32 The Presentation of Our Lord and Savior in the Temple When the most pure Mother and Ever-Virgin Mary's forty days of purification had been fulfilled, she took her first-born Son to Jerusalem on this, the fortieth day after His birth, that she might present Him in the temple according to the Law of Moses, which teaches that every first-born male child be dedicated to God, and also that she might offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons, as required by the Law (Luke 2:22-24; Exod. 13:2; Lev. 12:6-8). On this same day, a just and devout man, the greatly aged Symeon, was also present in the temple, being guided by the Holy Spirit. For a long time, this man had been awaiting the salvation of God, and he had been informed by divine revelation that he would not die until he beheld the Lord's Christ. Thus, when he beheld Him at that time and took Him up into his aged arms, he gave glory to God, singing: "Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Master. ." And he confessed that he would close his eyes joyfully, since he had seen the Light of revelation for the nations and the Glory of Israel (Luke 2:25-32). From ancient times, the Holy Church has retained this tradition of the churching of the mother and new- born child on the fortieth day and of the reading of prayers of purification. The Apodosis of the Feast of the Meeting in the Temple is usually on the 9th of February. This, however, may vary if the Feast falls within the period of the Triodion. Should this occur, the Typicon should be consulted for specific information concerning the Apodosis of the Feast. 2 2019 February Word Parish Council Update On January 4, 2019, the Stratigos Family hosted a mixer and dinner, welcoming the new members of our 2019 Parish Council and thanking our 2018 members. A special thank you to Bruce Corcoran, Vicki Kalabokes, George Tacticos and Dennis Thomatos for their service to the Parish Council. The evening reminded all of us that each and every member of our Parish contributes to making our Church a place of faith, love, and community. We toasted all those who have contributed to these past 50 years and look forward to celebrating our Parish’s anniversary throughout the year. Our 2019 Parish Council The installation of our 2019 Parish Council took place on Sunday, January 6, 2019. The 2019 Officers were then elected: Spiro Stratigos, President Steve Rouman, Vice President Nico Haris, Treasurer Eleni Scanagatta, Secretary Parish Council Members include Christ Kamages, Anna Kozas, Irene Meehan, Peter Passaris, Renee Scott, George Sotiras and Dina Stathis. An election of a vacant Parish Council position also took place and we were pleased to elect Cheryl Messner (2019-2021 term) to complete our 2019 Parish Council. 2019 February WORD 3 Parish Council Update New Parish Council Member Cheryl Simone Messner grew up in Southern California and her family were original members of St. Lukes Orthodox Church of Garden Grove, CA. As a Pan-Orthodox church, St. Lukes was unique because the parishioners were from diverse ethnic backgrounds including Middle Easterners, Greeks, Russians, Eritreans, Slovaks, Serbs and Romanians. Needless to say, the annual festivals were a rich blend of culture and were well attended by the greater Orange County community. Cheryl's parents, Cy and Helen, operated a family Italian restaurant in Compton where she and her two sisters worked from the age they could "reach the sink," washing dishes, prepping, and serving. Growing up, Cheryl enjoyed the closeness of a large, extended family and recently visited the village in Lebanon where her father grew up a century ago. Cheryl fell in love with the beauty of the Bay Area after attending Cal Berkeley, and decided to make it her home. She and her husband Mark met in 1990 while working as federal probation officers for the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. They married in 1994 at the beautiful Greek Orthodox church in Long Beach, CA, and her cousin, Father Michael Laffoon of Irvine, officiated. Beforehand, Mark, who grew up as a non-denominational Protestant Christian, borrowed from My Big Fat Greek Wedding playbook after he was baptized in an inflatable pool by an Episcopalian priest in Berkeley - with the aid of crutches because he was recovering from knee surgery. Mark and Cheryl moved to Novato in 1997 and have two children, Nicholas (Nick) and Hannah. Nick is studying International Law at the University of Trento in northern Italy and Hannah is completing her senior year at Chapman University in Orange County. Mark and Cheryl continue to work in the criminal justice field and also do volunteer work in their free time. Mark, a fourth degree blackbelt, teaches Kung Fu and Tai Chi in the city and also studies traditional Chinese medicine. Inspired by a talk by Vicki Trapalis and Dina Stathis of our community, Cheryl traveled to the island of Chios in October where she performed volunteer work to help refugees fleeing from war and persecution. She looks forward to having greater involvement at Nativity of Christ, getting to know the community better, and serving on the Parish Counsel. January Meeting Update Ministry Coordinator The Parish Council, with the guidance of Father John, is pleased to introduce our New Ministries Coordinator – Andy Stenros.

    The National Herald December 23, 2006 The National Herald is once again honored to join you and your family for Christmas. In addition to the other contents in this issue, we have spotlighted two short and abridged stories written by Photios Kontoglou (1895–1965), a gifted and spiritual artist. These stories depict two unique celebrations of Christmas in Aivali, Asia Minor. As the Christmas season draws near, many of us will be attending Orthodox churches and experiencing the spiritual power of Greek icons. Kondoglou was the foremost iconographer in Greece in the 20th century. He wrote extensively on the sacred art of iconography, in fact he is considered the man responsible for the revival of Byzantine iconography in the 1930’s. Kontoglou was born in 1895 in Aivali, Asia Minor. Together with his paintings and his writings, he published more than 3000 studies and articles, fighting for the eternal values of the Or- thodoxy and the Greek Tradition. Although known primarily as an iconist and philosopher, Kontoglou was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature. He was awarded the Cross-of-the- Commander of the Phoenix and received the Distinction of Letters and Arts from the Academy of Athens in recognition of all his exceptional work. We are also continuing our theme of Christmas past with a touching story, from the perspective of a Greek soldier, during the Albanian campaign of 1940-1941. Included in this insert is a lighthearted piece by Paul Papadeas about celebrating Christmas Greek style in North Carolina during the 1980’s. As for the story of Christmas present we leave it up to you, and from all of the staff of The National Herald we wish you “Χρόνια Πολλά.” Beverley MacDougall Special Section Assistant Editor 2 CHRISTMAS 2006 THE NATIONAL HERALD, DECEMBER 23, 2006 and fill their hearts and minds with The National Herald peace.

  • Sheep Based Cuisine Synthesis Report First Draft
    CULTURE AND NATURE: THE EUROPEAN HERITAGE OF SHEEP FARMING AND PASTORAL LIFE RESEARCH THEME: SHEEP BASED CUISINE SYNTHESIS REPORT FIRST DRAFT By Zsolt Sári HUNGARIAN OPEN AIR MUSEUM January 2012 INTRODUCTION The history of sheep consume and sheep based cuisine in Europe. While hunger is a biologic drive, food and eating serve not only the purpose to meet physiological needs but they are more: a characteristic pillar of our culture. Food and nutrition have been broadly determined by environment and economy. At the same time they are bound to the culture and the psychological characteristics of particular ethnic groups. The idea of cuisine of every human society is largely ethnically charged and quite often this is one more sign of diversity between communities, ethnic groups and people. In ancient times sheep and shepherds were inextricably tied to the mythology and legends of the time. According to ancient Greek mythology Amaltheia was the she-goat nurse of the god Zeus who nourished him with her milk in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete. When the god reached maturity he created his thunder-shield (aigis) from her hide and the ‘horn of plenty’ (keras amaltheias or cornucopia) from her horn. Sheep breeding played an important role in ancient Greek economy as Homer and Hesiod testify in their writings. Indeed, during the Homeric age, meat was a staple food: lambs, goats, calves, giblets were charcoal grilled. In several Rhapsodies of Homer’s Odyssey, referring to events that took place circa 1180 BC, there is mention of roasting lamb on the spit. Homer called Ancient Thrace „the mother of sheep”.

  • Keeping the Nativity of Christ Simple ~ a Message from Fr
    December 2013 ¨1645 Phillips Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32308 ¨ (850) 878-0747 ¨ Rev. Fr. Robert J. O’Loughlin¨ http://www.hmog.org Keeping the Nativity of Christ Simple ~ A Message from Fr. Robert We live in the world today where technology keeps us informed immediately of dif- ferent things going on all the time. Within the busyness we may not include God and trusting in Him to assist in making our lives more simple. The more we trust Him, the simpler life becomes. What God asks of us is to release some of our own desires and wants and trust in Him that He will guide us to all we need. One of the central mes- sages of the Feast of the Nativity of Jesus is that He becomes alive in each one of us. Our thoughts, words and deeds become ways to carry out His will. We are to engage in the opening of our heart, mind, soul and body to the presence of the Holy Spirit as it takes effort to integrate the thoughts and feelings to become temples of His Holy Spirit. We come to that time of year when we take time to think of others. One thing that is associated with the cel- ebration of Christmas everywhere is giving. Christmas is the feast of giving and St. Nicholas has become a symbol of Christmas because he gave all of what he had and was never tired of giving. The biggest gift that we can receive and then ultimately give is receiving Christ in our hearts. And then when we have this we can give the gift of ourselves more and spend the time that many people long for.

  • 200Th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021
    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Pappas Center IN THIS ISSUE for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies have prepared this Special Edition of the Hellenic Voice for you to enjoy.

Χ. Scene from ancient Greek Symposium. 475 B.C. The Greek culinary identity is rich and deep rooted within the year. Greece has one of the oldest and most good-tasting traditions in the world, a tradition of ice- creams, materials and styles of prehistoric years and up to today. The ancient Greek cuisine is in recent years a subject of study. Written texts of the era of seniority describe with impressive details the eating habits of our ancestors in the island and mainland Greece. It was Archestratos in 330 B.C. who wrote the first cookbook in history. 2 Greece has a culinary tradition of some 4,000 years. Ancient Greek cuisine was characterized by its frugality and was founded on the "Mediterranean triad": wheat, olive oil, and wine, with meat being rarely eaten and fish being more common. 3 The species and shapes of containers, utensils and kitchen tools that come to light from the excavations reveal a very advanced, refined and healthy kitchen.
