SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH January 29, 2017 SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH january 29, 2017 the sunday of the canaanite woman The Transfer of the Relics of the Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-Bearer: (See December 20). After the holy hieromartyr Ignatius was thrown to the lions in the year 107 on the orders of the emperor Trajan, Chris- tians gathered up his bones and preserved them at Rome. Later, in the year 108, the saint’s relics were collected and buried outside the gate of Daphne at Antioch. A second transfer, to the city of Antioch itself, took place in the year 438. After the capture of Antioch by the Persians, the relics of the Hieromartyr Ignatius were returned to Rome and placed into the church of the holy Hieromartyr Clement in the year 540 ( in 637, according to other sources). Saint Ignatius introduced antiphonal singing into Church services. He has left us seven archpastoral epistles in which he provided instructions on faith, love and good works. He also urged his flock to preserve the unity of the faith and to beware of heretics. He encouraged people to honor and obey their bishops, “we should regard the bishop as we would the Lord Himself” (To the Ephesians 6) In his Letter to Polycarp, Saint Ignatius writes: “Listen to the bishop, if you want God to listen to you... let your baptism be your shield, your faith a helmet, your charity a spear, your patience, like full armor.” (Compare Eph. 6:14-17 and the Wisdom of Solomon 5:17-20. Also THE LADDER 4:2) Saint Laurence, Hermit of the Caves and Bishop of Turov, in the Near Caves at first lived as a hermit at the monastery of the Great Martyr Demetrius, built by Great Prince Izyaslav at Kiev near the Monastery of the Caves. Later, he transferred to the Kiev Caves monastery, and was glorified by a gift of healing. He was elevated to the See of Turov in 1182 (Turov is a city in the Minsk region), and was a successor of Saint Cyril of Turov (April 28). He died in 1194, and was buried in the Near Caves. His memory is cel- ebrated also on September 28 and on the second Sunday of Great Lent. In the year 786, Ashot, the son of Adarnerse, ascended the throne of Kartli. From the very beginning of his reign he fought fiercely for the reunification of Georgia. His first step was to take advantage of the Arab Muslims’ weariness and banish them from Tbilisi. 1510 audubon drive • columbia, missouri, 65201 • tel. 573.817.0050 / fax 573.449.8452 email: [email protected] • web: www.saintlukecolumbia.org at the small entrance we chant Ἀπολυτ.

If a humanist claims to be doing good works, independently of Christ, we can be sure that the works are rotten to the core, either from vainglory or concealed egotism. “ —st nikolai Velimirovich ” announcements Saturday, January 25, Great Vespers, 5pm upcoming church services: Monday, January 30, The Synaxis of the Three Hierarchs, Orthros / Divine Liturgy, 8:30am Thursday, February 2, The Presentation of our Lord, Orthros / Div.

  • Esbeki Architectural Complex Esbeki Basilica
    Lola Tsitskhvaia Tbilisi State Academy of Fine Arts Art Historian, Doctor Esbeki Architectural Complex Esbeki Basilica Esbeki is a less known and unexplored architectural complex in the region of historic Tao-Klarjeti. There is no enough information in the historical sources as about this settlement so about this important architectural ensemble, which is one of the interesting examples of an early Tao-Klarjeti architectural building period. One can read the only brief text and see some photos about Esbeki In Vakhtang Djobadze’s fundamental scientific work ’’Early Medieval Georgian Monasteries in Historical Tao, Klatjeti and Shavshethi’’. Even V. Djobadze had noticed himself with a great regret that he couldn’t observe and study this complex in details as well. It should also be noted an annotation, a plan and some sketches of Esbeki basilica listed in Tao-Klarjeti architecture and wall painting exhibition catalog / G.Chubinashvili Institute of Art History expedition in 1995; a graphic documentation/. And the last author, who had mentioned Esbeki basilica as a parallel edifice for Parekhi basilica is Dr. David Khoshtaria. I was there, in Esbeki, exactly twenty years ago, in 1999, during the expedition organized by German scientists, but I couldn’t survey the complex appropriately. Nevertheless, I still wrote a brief article about this amazing location. Esbeki is situated in historical Georgian province of Tao, Artvini region, in the territory of Turkey, on the left bank of Oltisi River. Architectural complex of Esbeki is located in an expansive, spacious territory, 990 meters above sea level. V. Djobadze had mentioned that this place, this location had a strategic meaning, because from here you will find everything extraordinary.

  • Khandzta Monastery in the Late Eighth Century St. Gregory Initiated a Large
    Khandzta Monastery In the late eighth century St. Gregory initiated a large monastic movement in Klarjeti region. After he spend two years in Opiza monastery, St Gregory in around 782 established his first monastery here (Khandzta, Shatberdi, Nunneries – Gunatle, Mere; Ubisi – in west Georgia). During the centuries this monastery was the most important centre in Klarjeti, it was some kind of principal base of monastic colonies in this region. As V. Djobadze characterizes the monastery, “it was destined to revive once again the national identity of Georgia by mobilizing its spiritual forces against the Arab overlords”. The complex consists of several buildings, from which some are in ruins: the main church dedicated to St George, Bell-tower, ruins of a refectory, a tiny chapels and three rectangular cells in three stories. On the west there are a spring and a small barrel-vaulted chapel above it, which according to V. Djobadze should have been built in 820s. On the outside of the monastic enclosure, on the southwest (some three hundred meters) of the monastery on top of a hill there are three small barrel-vaulted chapels. When in 1904 Niko Marr visited the monastery, he described several buildings which now no longer exist: he identified the seminary or library, storage rooms and other subsidiary buildings on three layered terraces, as well as winepress on the southwestern side. The first church, constructed by St Gregory, as well as cells for monks and refectory were built with wood. In the 820-s the wooden church was replaced by the masonry church with the material support of a local nobleman Gabriel Daphanchuli.

  • Grand Basilicas of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali Monasteries: Stages of Construction
    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 14, #2, 2020 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 14, no. 2, 2020 Art History Grand Basilicas of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali Monasteries: Stages of Construction Irene Giviashvili George Chubinashvili National Research Centre for Georgian Art History and Heritage Preservation, Tbilisi, Georgia (Presented by Academy Member Liana Melikishvili) The monasteries of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali are located in historic Tao on the very bordering points of the “Kingdom of Georgians”. The aim of this publication is to present the construction stages of these two monuments based on comparative analysis and historical background. Long term observations show that Otkhta Eklesia had at least three stages of construction and Parkhali had two. The walls of Otkhta Eklesia built in the Opus-Mixtum technique, remain from the original church. It could be remnant of the “Triple Church Basilica”, similar to one founded by Grigol of Khandzta in Nedzvi, in the 9th c. or even from an earlier establishment. At the second stage, the central nave was rebuilt with the new columns and the upper parts of the walls were added. This reconstruction is related to King David III and took place before 965. Soon, another grand reconstruction was carried out seeing the space of the apse enlarged due to replacement of the first pair of columns to the east. The height of the central nave and the apse was increased. We can assume that the changes to the plan came as a result of the new typicon and the liturgical order that was introduced to the Georgian Church from Mount Athos.

  • Irene Giviashvili the Cathedral of Bana Ruins of a Grand Cathedral Is
    Irene Giviashvili The Cathedral of Bana Ruins of a grand Cathedral is located on a top of a small hill in the Oltu valley, Erzerum Province (Turkey).Bana is one of the most important medieval church buildings in eastern Christian world. According to the medieval Georgian sources, the cathedral of Bana was built during the reign of King Adarnase (888-923) by the hand of Kvirike Baneli, who later became the first bishop of Bana. This earliest date has recently been confirmed by means of 14C dating. In 1032, King Bagrat IV (1027-1072) married the Byzantine Princes Helena, niece of emperor Romanos III Argyros (1028-1034), at Bana. The event is depicted in a wall painting from 1036 at the nearby monastery church of Oshki, showing the cathedral of Bana as a huge cylindrical building with a gallery above the ambulatory. In the early twelfth century Bana fell to the Seljuk Turks, but it was retaken during the reign of Queen Tamar (1184-1213). The building structure was further strengthened in this period. In the mid-sixteenth century the south Georgian provinces of Tao-Klarjeti came under Ottoman rule. As a consequence, the cathedral of Bana ceased to function as a place of Christian worship. The German Botanist Karl Koch still saw Bana in its complete state in 1844. He noted some “Muslim” alterations of the building. During the Crimean war (1853-1856) Ottoman troops converted Bana into a fortress. The dome of the building collapsed in 1875, and Ban suffered heavily under artillery fire during the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878.

  • Khakhuli Monastery Location: Historical Tao, Modern-Day Haho/Bağbaşi
    Khakhuli Monastery Location: historical Tao, modern-day Haho/Bağbaşi Bella Radenovic, PhD Candidate, Courtauld Institute of Art The Khakhuli monastery was founded by David III of Tao (r. 966-c.1001) in the 960s before he was bestowed the title of kuropalatesin 978 for his participation in crushing the revolt against Basil II. Described by Giorgi Merchule in his mid-tenth century vita of St Gregory of Khandzta as “a builder of holy churches and a collector of religious writings”, David III co- founded Oshki with his brother Bagrat II (961-966) and founded the monasteries of Parkhali and Otkhtawhich represent extraordinary revivals of basilical architecture. These buildingsare large and strikingly original structures. Little of this scale has survived from the Byzantine world from this period. Located up a western bank of the Tortum River in modern-day Bağbaşi village, Khakhuli was once a sizable and populated monastic complex and is the only one of David’s foundations which is mentioned in medieval historiography. The chronicles describe it as “God’s throne – the holy church of Khakhuli”. The main site is enclosed by 3m high walls and comprises of the katholikon, a small church, three chapels and oratories as well as remains of other structures which may have served as a refectory and a scriptorium. Southeast of the complex there are remains of another hall church and 1km west of it, on top of a cliff, there lies another chapel with a panoramic view of the Khakhuli valley. Interior In the very heart of the walled enclosure of the complex lies the katholikon dedicated to the Theotokos.

  • International Congress I Problems and Prospects Of
    The Georgian National Academy of Sciences Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Georgian Patriarchate INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS I PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF KARTVELOLOGY Tbilisi, 2015 ABSTRACTS 49 Zaza Alexidze (Georgia, Tbilisi) The Issue of Language and Statehood in Georgian Literature and Politics of Old and Recent Period 1. At the turn of IV-III centuries B.C., when King Parnavaz was establishing the first unitary Georgian State, the peak of the process was the declaration of Geor- gian as a State language and creation of the Georgian writing system. 2. In the early fourth century, when Iberia was left without a descendent of the Parnavazids, local nobles invited a certain Persian prince Mihran, in Georgia known as Mirian, as king. Mirian married the last female descendant of the Parnavazid dynasty, “he loved the Georgians, forgot Persian, learned Georgian and adorned the tomb of Parnavaz”. Georgian remained as Iberia’s state language. 3. In the VI-VII centuries, when the Kingdom of Kartli started to become unit- ed, church service in the borderline provinces of Georgia was conducted in the Georgian language even for the non-Georgian-speaking parish.
