Cathedral News Cathedral News Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2019 Reflection on Camp Good Shepherd-Virginia 2019 Now that almost two weeks have passed since our week of camp for Camp Good Shepherd – Virginia, I have been reflecting and digesting all that took place in such a special week. This past week however, has been a tough one for me and possibly some of the youth of our community as well. We have been suffering from something known as “post camp depression” If your not familiar with this, it’s what happens to campers and staff after camp is over and they are back at home. Symptoms of moping around the house, not knowing what to do, and for the staff catching up on much needed sleep. This year we had a great week at Camp Good Shepherd- Virginia. This was the fifth year of the camp which started with less than 40 campers and a handful of staff. This year we had 83 campers, 14 staff members, 2 nurses and 5 clergy. 31 of Camp Good Shepherd—Virginia 2019 those campers were first time campers, two of the staff members were first time counselors. The theme for the week was “Who is it that they say that I am?”, which comes from the gospel of Matthew, when Jesus asked his disciples who people thought he was. This theme focused on our identity as Orthodox Christians first. Through out the five days of camp, the campers along with counselors and clergy sought to answer five questions through conversation, personal experiences and our Orthodox teachings. The questions were as follows: “Who am I?”, which focused on how we as individuals identify ourselves and everything is secondary to intensifying as Orthodox Christians. “Who is it that they say that I am?”, which focused on how others see us and how do we reflect the image of Christ to others. “Who is God?”, where they discussed our understanding of God and how our relationships with him are personal. “Who Are We?”, and finally, “How Does God See Us?” Our days at camp consisted of a typical camping schedule, we began and ended each daylight a short service where hymns were lead by campers at the chant stand. We ate meals as a community, we discussed our faith, experiences and personal struggles as cabins, we participated in activities like canoeing, high ropes, archery and various others. And finally the campers grew closer and learned to lean on one another and of course had fun during evening activities and countless other times throughout the day. Throughout the week, I would find myself getting caught up with logistics, the program and day to day concerns, and I would lose focus of why we were all at camp in the first place or staying present in the moment. When this would happen, however, there would be little things from the campers or staff or clergy that would snap me out of whatever I was thinking about and reorient me back into the right mindset. I would like to share a couple of those with you right now. On the very first night the campers were at camp, Sunday night, I had been running around all day, making sure campers were in the right cabins, seeing that counselors had all they needed, calling parents back and forth about them dropping their kids off a little late, and most importantly, that we had marshmallows for the S’mores at the camp fire. I had a lot going through my mind that night and it was hard to focus on any one thing let alone the mindset we should have for camp. During this a camper was walking a little behind her group so I asked her “are you excited for the week??” She said: “yes I am and I’m just really happy to be back home” When she said this, I almost stopped dead in my tracks. Everything that I had been worried about sort of fell from my mind and I just smiled.

Throughout the week we give the counselors the opportunity to give little sermonettes after the services. They could speak on the theme of the week, the gospel reading for the day, what we were discussing in our Orthodox Life sessions, really any thing we wanted. That morning we had a young woman from our community that shall remain nameless. When she was about to go up, I got a message from the facility director saying that something happened and he asked if we could alter our schedule for the day. Again, my mind was not in the moment and was definitely not focused on anything happening in Campers canoeing on Piankatank River church. But then this staff member began to speak and gave a beautifully simple explanation and analogy for prayer. She compared it to conversations with a friend from college. At first neither of them knew each other or knew what to say, it was awkward at times and seemed forced, but they started talking and hanging out more and more, eventually getting to the point where they had become closer, the conversation was easy and they truly relied on one another. She said it is the same with prayer, at first it feels weird, it feels forced and even awkward. But gradually it becomes easier, more personal, and eventually it will feel easier than talking to a close friend. Hearing her say this to the campers and really the staff as well, in the exact style they needed to hear, once again helped me to remember why we were all here. There are countless other stories I could share with you about the week and camp in general, but I’ll stop there. The truth is there are much better people to ask about camp and that is the campers themselves. They experience the program in a way I just couldn’t, they are the best spokespersons available to share the word of just what we do at camp and how we all grow in so many different ways in just one short week. This is such an important ministry in our church, camp is how many people including many of our parishioners, have grown closer to our faith. Camp is what made me decide to work in the church, it is where I fell in love with youth ministry, and made it clear how I was to serve the Lord and others. Camp has giving me some of the most important aspects of my life including my wife Victoria and the foundations of our relationship. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the entire community of our Cathedral for the continuing support of the Camp Good Shepherd – Virginia ministry. Whether you are a parent of campers, entrusting us with your children, someone who has donated money to go towards scholarships for campers, or just simply supporting through your prayers and kind words, this ministry would not be able to happen without you. Please keep spreading the word of CGS- VA with others, encourage your children to come or if they have already, to share their experience with other kids. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thank you.

One of them is Saint Kyriaki. Raised in an environment of reverence and love for the true God, she was raised in the admonition of the life of the gospel and became, according to the sacred hymnographer, a spring with much water that watered the Church and made her bear fruit.

  • Life of the Holy Hieromartyr Charalambos of Magnesia the Wonderworker
    SAINT CHARALAMBOS Verses Through the sword, Charalambos, you were deemed worthy Of the brightness and joy of the Martyrs. On the tenth, Charalambos, you were cut from the neck. Life of the Holy Hieromartyr Charalambos of Magnesia the Wonderworker On the 10th of the month (of February), we keep the Memory of the Blessed Hieromartyr Charalambos, of Saints Porphyrios and Baptus, the tormentors of Saint Charalambos, and of the Three Holy Women of Magnesia, who on beholding his martyrdom believed in Christ and were beheaded. Page 1 of 29 SAINT CHARALAMBOS By Hieromonk Makarios of Simonopetra The holy, glorious Martyr Charalambos lived at the time of the Emperor Septimus Severus (194-211) in the city of Magnesia on the River Meander near Ephesus.* He was 107 years old and had ministered as priest to the Christians of the city for many years, devotedly instructing them in the way of truth and preaching Christ to all, regardless of the threats of the pagans. When he was denounced as a dangerous mischief-maker and brought before the tribunal of the Governor Lucian, he responded to his threats in these terms, ―You little know what is for my good and well-being. Nothing could be more pleasing to me than to suffer for Christ. So don’t hesitate to put my old body to the tortures you deem the worst, and you will learn that the power of my Christ cannot be overcome.‖ He was then stripped of his priestly robe by the tormentors, who tore his flesh with iron claws without being able to elicit a single cry of pain from him.

Box 8534, Biloxi, MS 39535 (228) 388-6138 www.holytrinitybiloxi.org July Bulletin 2021 From Fr Paisius Glory to Jesus Christ! Greetings dear faithful families of our beloved Holy Trinity parish! We have recently been blessed with several Holy Baptisms in our Parish community. When we celebrate the joyous occasion of Holy Baptisms and Holy Chrismations, we all have an opportunity to reflect on the themes we encounter specifically in this Holy Sacrament. First in both we are faced with the reality that we like the newly Baptized and Chrismated have received the power and operation of the Grace of the Holy Spirit. It is this power which enables us to live faithful lives as disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The same power that filled the Saints that we honor in our Holy Church, is the same power that lives in our lives. Let us reach out and allow the Holy Spirit to fill us so we also may accomplish great things in faithful as the local Body of Christ. Second, we encounter our Lord's command-in the Gospel Reading for Holy Baptism- to spread the message of the Good News. Making the Holy Spirit real and effective in our lives fills us with the great joy for our own salvation but also with a deep and joyful desire to share that same Good News to others. In so doing we are fulfilling our Lord's command to share the Gospel message of Grace and Salvation.

  • Hell in the Byzantine World Volume 1: Essays Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47415-3 — Hell in the Byzantine World Volume 1: Essays Frontmatter More Information Hell in the Byzantine World The imagery of Hell, the Christian account of the permanent destina- tions of the human soul after death, has fascinated people over the centuries since the emergence of the Christian faith. These landmark volumes provide the first large-scale investigation of this imagery found across the Byzantine and post-Byzantine world. Particular emphasis is placed on images from churches across Venetian Crete, which are comprehensively collected and published for the first time. Crete was at the centre of artistic production in the late Byzantine world and beyond, and its imagery was highly influential on tradi- tions in other regions. The Cretan examples accompany rich com- parative material from the wider Mediterranean – Cappadocia, Macedonia, the Peloponnese and Cyprus. The large amount of data presented in this publication highlights Hell’s emergence in monu- mental painting not as a concrete array of images, but as a diversified mirroring of social perceptions of sin. angeliki lymberopoulou is Senior Lecturer in Art History at The Open University. She is the author of The Church of the Archangel Michael at Kavalarian: Art and Society on Fourteenth- Century Venetian-Dominated Crete (2006) and the editor of Cross- Cultural Interaction between Byzantium and the West 1204–1669: Whose Mediterranean is it Anyway?
