  • WHAT IS TRINITY SUNDAY? Trinity Sunday Is the First Sunday After Pentecost in the Western Christian Liturgical Calendar, and Pentecost Sunday in Eastern Christianity
    The Blessed Trinity with Crown, by Max Fürst (1846–1917) Welcome to OUR 15th VIRTUAL GSP class! Trinity Sunday and the Triune God WHAT IS IT? WHY IS IT? Presented by Charles E.Dickson,Ph.D. First Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday Almighty and everlasting God, who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity: We beseech thee that thou wouldest keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see thee in thy one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit livest and reignest, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THIS COLLECT? This collect, found in the first Book of Common Prayer, derives from a little sacramentary of votive Masses for the private devotion of priests prepared by Alcuin of York (c.735-804), a major contributor to the Carolingian Renaissance. It is similar to proper prefaces found in the 8th-century Gelasian and 10th- century Gregorian Sacramentaries. Gelasian Sacramentary WHAT IS TRINITY SUNDAY? Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost in the Western Christian liturgical calendar, and Pentecost Sunday in Eastern Christianity. It is eight weeks after Easter Sunday. The earliest possible date is 17 May and the latest possible date is 20 June. In 2021 it occurs on 30 May. One of the seven principal church year feasts (BCP, p. 15), Trinity Sunday celebrates the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, the three Persons of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, “the one and equal glory” of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, “in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being” (BCP, p.

    Sunday, July 5, 2020 + The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost Saints Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Christian Church A Parish of the Diocese of New England of the Orthodox Church in America Fr. John Hopko, Pastor Protodeacon Paul Nimchek 860.582.3631 email: terryvilleorthodoxchurch@gmail.com www.terryvilleorthodoxchurch.org www.facebook.com/TerryvilleOrthodoxChurch Sunday, July 5, 2020 The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost – Tone 3 July 5, annually, is the date of the commemoration of, among others: The Venerable Athanasius, founder of the Great Lavra and Coenobitic Monasticism on Mount Athos, and his six disciples (10th c.); Saint Sergius of Radonezh (d. 1392); and the Hieromartyr Lampados of Irenopolis (10th c.); https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2020/06/28 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Parish Temporarily Closed Until Further Notice A week ago, on Sunday, June 28, a person was present in our Parish Church for the Divine Liturgy. That person is now being tested for novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. (Please, keep that person, and their family, in your prayers.) Thus, in strict obedience to the Directives issued by the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America regarding response to such an occurrence, our parish is closed until either one of two things happens: The first would be that the person in question tests “negative” for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The second would be that fourteen days have passed since that person was present in Church. In the meantime, all persons who were present in Church on Sunday, June 28, are asked to understand that they may have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, and that they should, therefore, be managing their behavior accordingly—primarily by watching their own selves for any signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection and, secondly, by limiting their contacts with others.

  • The Divine Dance!
    SOME TRINITARIAN PHRASES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Mt. 28: 19) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. (2 Cor. 13:13) If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. (Rom. 8: 11) But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ (Gal. 4: 4-6) The Concept of “Trinity” "Trinitas" first used by Tertullian, writing in Latin, ca. 200. "Τριάς" (Trias) first used by Theophilus of Antioch, writing in Greek, ca. 170 (referring to God the Creator, God’s Word, and God’s Wisdom) Western developments . Trinity, Perugia, 14th c. Another Trinity, in Perugia, 14th c.? Trinity, Netherlands School, ca. 1500 Masaccio Trinity, 1425 Masaccio Trinity, 1425 “The Counsel of Redemption,” by Konrad Witz’ workshop, after 1444.

  • From the Pastor's Desk
    HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH Washington, DC December 1, 2019 We Need a Little Advent By David Pennington You likely know the song from Jerry Herman’s musical, Mame. Mame has lost her fortune in the Wall Street crash of 1929. The mood in the family is hopeless and Mame’s nephew, Patrick, strikes up the household in song with “We need a little Christmas/ right this very minute…it’s one week past Thanksgiving now.” The house is bedecked for Christmas, and all is merry and bright. Christmas creep was a thing, even in 1929 (or 1966 when the show premiered). This weekend, while the rest of the world is bedecked with lights and ornaments, with candles in the windows and carols at the spinet, the Church enters the season of Advent – a season whose name means “coming” and whose spirit invites us to hope, anticipate, and create a quiet space for God in our lives. Liturgically, the season has very little to do with Christmas. The predominant focus of Advent has to do with Christ’s second coming, not the first. There is no glimmer of Baby Jesus in the Scripture readings until December 17 and the Fourth (last) Sunday of Advent. Before then, we get Isaiah’s beautiful images of God’s holy mountain where lion lies down with sheep, where valleys are filled in and mountains made low, and the glory of God is revealed. This perfection is the fulfillment of God’s reign when Christ comes again in glory. But, we’re not there yet. We wait in quiet hope of that day and make space for God’s coming to us today in hopes of Christ’s return at the end of time.

  • A Study for Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying with the Icons By
    A Study Guide for Behold the Beauty of the Lord Praying with Icons by Henri J.M. Nouwen 1987, 2007 Notre Dame, Indiana, Ave Maria Press, 116 pp. (softcover) THE WORD ICON AS IT OCCURS IN THE SCRIPTURES The word icon is a transliteration of the Greek word εἰκὼν and is found in the New Testament, particularly in the letters of the apostle Paul. While most Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians are familiar with the biblical theme of Jesus as the Word of God made flesh (John 1:1-14), Orthodox Christians also celebrate the biblical theme of Jesus as the Icon or Image of God. The icons found in Orthodox Churches are a celebration of the fact that Jesus Christ is indeed the Word of God made flesh and that anyone who has seen Jesus has seen the Father (John 12:45 and 14:8-12). As the 7th Ecumenical Council held in the city of Nicea in 787AD proclaimed, icons are in color what the Scriptures are in words: witnesses to the incarnation, the fact that God has come among us as a person whom we can see, touch and hear. In fact, in the traditional language of the Church, icons are not simply painted but written and an iconographer is "one who writes icons." Below are listed four of the places that the word icon is found in the original Greek text of the New Testament. Normally translated by the English words "image" or "likeness" in the New King James Version, the New Revised Standard Version and the New International Version, in the texts given below the transliterated word “icon” has been left in the text.

    Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania www.HolyTrinityPgh.org OUR VISION: “FAITH. FAMILY. COMMUNITY.” OUR MISSION: “THE MISSION OF HOLY TRINITY GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH IS TO PROCLAIM AND LIVE THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ITS FULLNESS AS FAITHFUL MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.” This sacred mission is fulfilled in the Holy Spirit through the following expressions of ministry: • A worship ministry which nurtures the faithful through regular participation in the sacred services and holy mysteries of the Church. • A teaching ministry which strives to educate and inspire the faithful through the Sacred Scriptures and Holy Tradition of the Church. • An outreach ministry which fulfills the command of Jesus Christ to reach out to the sick and needy, to serve the least of our brethren, and to spread the Gospel both locally and throughout the world. • A hospitality ministry, which welcomes visitors and new members to the community with love and respect, and which actively embraces the parish’s involvement with other churches. • A fellowship ministry, which provides a variety of opportunities for all members of the parish to share in activities with one another through appropriate cultural, social and educational events that reflect the life, faith and cultural heritage of the community. • A stewardship ministry which engenders the faithful dedication of the time, talents and treasures of parishioners in support of the ministries of the Church to the glory of God. In accepting this mission we acknowledge and confess that it is not in our power alone to accomplish this divine and sacred work. We will succeed only through the use of our own God-given gifts blessed by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion and fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  • Holy Trinity Catholic Church Washington, DC November 17 & 24, 2019
    Holy Trinity Catholic Church Washington, DC November 17 & 24, 2019 Blessings to Celebrate, Honor and Share By Rock Schuler Autumn’s cool bite was in the gold-hued air as I sat outside a Baltimore café one late Saturday morning recently. I was waiting for the leader of a prominent Baltimore ministry, an Episcopalian whom I was meeting for the first time, to explore volunteering for a short-term project.
